OGDENSBURGH, Diocese of. - City and diocese in the State of New York (U.S.A.). The diocese, a suffragan of New York, has an area of 12,036 square miles and a total population (1950) of 344,053 inhabitants, of whom 124,433 are Catholics; 215 diocesan and religious priests from 8 different congregations exercise the sacred ministry in the diocese's 113 parishes, 21 chapels and 41 missions.

In 1749, the Sulpician François Picquet erected Fort Presentation to protect the Christian Mohawks. The first white inhabitants of the territory were Protestants. Around 1790, the Acadians settled on the shore of Lake Champlain and were visited by missionaries who came from Canada. In 1838, after Papineau's rebellion (in Canada) in 1838, several Canadian Catholics settled there, as did many Irish, driven by the famine then raging in Ireland.
