Greece is a town in Monroe County, New York, United States. A suburb of Rochester, New York, it is the largest town by population in Monroe County, and the second-largest municipality by population in the county, behind only the City of Rochester. The town is located west of the Genesee River in the northern part of Monroe County, and borders the City of Rochester to the east, the Town of Gates to the south, the towns of Parma and Ogden to the west, and Lake Ontario to the north. The town is a contiguous suburb of Rochester. As of April, 2023, the town has a population of 94,591.
History
[edit]Pre-History
[edit]Indigenous tribes had settled the area surrounding the Finger Lakes and moved northward to Lake Ontario, the Genesee River, Irondequoit Bay and the ponds of Greece as early as 1,300 AD. These people were Iroquoian tribes, early cousins of the Seneca, who traded with the Algonquin and Huron tribes. By about 1,550 AD the Seneca, Mohawk, Oneida, Cayuga and Onondaga combined to form the Iroquois Confederacy. (The Tuscarora would later migrate from the Carolinas and join the Confederacy.) They remained the dominant inhabitants of the region for the next 200 years.[4]
The first European to visit the area was the French explorer Rene-Robert Cavelier, who visited in 1669.[5] French and British soldiers passed through on multiple occasions during this time period as the two colonial powers struggled for control of the region. European settlers began to arrive in the area in the late 1790s, after the land was formally purchased from the Seneca.[6]
Early Settlement
[edit]Following the conclusion of the American War for Independence in 1783, the new government was keen to enable its citizens to make use of the new vast regions west of established colonial settlements. In 1792, the first settlers in what would become the town of Greece arrived. William Hincher (a Revolutionary War veteran and a participant in Shays’ Rebellion), his wife Mehitable, and their eight children built a cabin on the west bank of the Genesee River and purchased 627 acres of land in present day Charlotte in 1794. Following William's death in 1817, a deed was created between Mehitable and the United States government for the establishment of the Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse on the property which was constructed in 1822.[7][8]
In 1797, Kings Landing - the first European settlement and port west of the Gensee River - was established by the King and Granger families (natives of Connecticut) on the bank of the Genesee River in what is present day Charlotte. They built roads, a wharf, a schooner and sailed to Fort Niagara to trade produce and wheat. The Kings Landing settlement survived until it was decimated by malaria - then known as Genesee Fever. In 1807 the settlement was revived by the seven Hanford brothers who constructed a mill, hotel and shipping center.[9]
In 1805, James and Sarah Latta (native of Big Flats) purchased large plots of land in Charlotte for their family. The following year, their son Samuel built a home and warehouse on the property and was appointed Customs Agent for the Port of Charlotte by the President. The home built by Samuel Latta still stands at the intersection of Lake Avenue and Latta Road.[4]
Establishment of the Town of Greece
[edit]During the late 18th century counties were established to provide support to the western frontier of New York State. By 1789 Ontario and Genesee counties had been established, and in 1797 a region called Northampton had been designated in the eastern portion of Genesee county on land that had been acquired through the Phelps & Gorham land purchase. Northampton encompassed the area of present day Parma, Riga, Gates, Ogden, Chili and Greece.
In 1808, Northampton was divided into four towns. The area that is present day Gates and Greece maintained the name Northampton until the town of Gates was formally established in 1813. In 1821, Monroe County was created from land of both Ontario and Genesee counties. On March 22, 1822 the state government passed legislation which, effective April 1, 1822, divided Gates into the modern towns of Gates and Greece. The town of Greece received a larger percentage of the land because it was believed that most of the northern portion of the town was unusable swamp land. The name Greece was selected in support of the contemporary Greek War of Independence from the Ottoman Empire.
History: 1822 - 1922
[edit]The portion of the Erie Canal which passes through the town of Greece was completed by 1822. The hamlet of "South Greece" (present day Henpeck Park at the intersection of Ridgeway Ave and Elmgrove Road) was established to facilitate the needs of travelers and workers on the canal. Many of the homes built during this time are still standing, such as the Dr. Adiel Sherwood Buell House.[10]
Some stonemasons from Europe who came to assist with the construction of the canal remained in the area and are believed to be responsible for the construction of cobblestone homes unique to the Central and Western New York region. Four such structures remain in the Town of Greece, including The Covert-Brodie-Pollok House on North Greece Road.[4][11]
Throughout the 19th century Greece was primarily a farming community with a population that hovered around 5,000 people, and additional hamlets such as North Greece, West Greece, Greece Center, Barnard Crossing and Paddy Hill were formed. Much of the economic activity in the town centered on the port of Charlotte, which was incorporated as a village within the town of Greece in 1869, which facilitated up to 100 ships in the port and along the Genesee River in a day.
- North Greece - also known as "Jenkins' Corners". Formed around the intersection of Latta Road and North Greece Road. It is bounded to the east by Manitou Road, to the south by English Road and to the west by Flynn Road.[12]
- West Greece - also known as "Hoosick". Formed around the intersection of Manitou Road and West Ridge Road on the Greece / Parma town border.[13]
- Greece Center - Formed around the intersection of Latta Road and Long Pond Road.
- Barnard Crossing - also known as the Dewey-Stone neighborhood. Following the annexation of Charlotte by the City of Rochester in 1916 this became, and remains, the oldest neighborhood within the Town of Greece. It is bounded to the south by the railroad tracks at Barnard Crossing, to the north by English Road, to the east by Stonewood Ave, and to the west by Mt Read Blvd.[14]
- Paddy Hill - also known as "Read's Corners". Formed around the intersection of Latta Road and Mt Read Blvd. It was founded in the early 1800's by Irish immigrants who settled and farmed in the area.[15]
- Ada - also known as "Ridge Hamlet". Formed around the intersection of Mitchell / Long Pond Roads and West Ridge Road.[16]
The town’s proximity to Lake Ontario made it a famous vacation destination in the latter portion of the 19th century. The Ontario Beach Amusement Park (operating from 1884-1919) located on the site of the present day Ontario Beach Park was known as the “Coney Island of the West”. Another amusement park at Manitou Beach (operating from the 1890's - 1920's) was connected to Charlotte via the Grand View Beach Railway, and grand resort hotels such as the Manitou Hotel, Crescent Beach Hotel and the Odenbach Hotel sprang up along the route to accommodate visitors. This era however, was short lived, and by the 1920's the amusement parks and railway had closed. The Dentzel Menagerie Carousel which still operates at Ontario Beach Park is the only surviving remnant of either amusement park.[17][18]
It was around this same time that the economy of the Town of Greece began to shift from agriculture to industry. In 1891, George Eastman opened the first Kodak plant in the southeast area of town (at the intersection of Mt Read Blvd and West Ridge Road) that would eventually become known as Kodak Park. Kodak would eventually become the largest employer in the greater Rochester region and its success is directly responsible for the town's growth. As the City of Rochester expanded, it annexed large portions of the town. Charlotte was annexed in 1916 (creating the city's 23rd Ward), and the industrial district of Kodak Park was annexed in 1918.[19][20]
History: 1922 - Present
[edit]This economic shift continued steadily throughout the Interwar period. It was during this time that weather extremes, such as a severe freeze in 1934 which destroyed many of the towns orchards, resulted in a devastating loss of crops that many farmers were not able to recover from. As a result, much of the farm land was sold for real estate development. Due to its proximity to Kodak Park, the town transformed as residential construction to support soldiers returning from World War II attracted large numbers of factory workers and their families to Greece. The population grew rapidly during this time from roughly 15,000 people in 1940, to almost 50,000 by 1960, and by 1967 the population was approaching 75,000.
Historic & Notable Sites
[edit]The William Payne House, Greece Memorial Hall, William Covert Cobblestone Farmhouse, and Our Mother of Sorrows Roman Catholic Church Complex are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[21][22]
Geography
[edit]Greece is located at 43o 14' N latitude, 077o 42' W longitude.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 51.4 square miles (133 km2), of which 47.4 square miles (123 km2) is land and 3.9 square miles (10 km2) (7.65%) is water.
Major highways in the town include NY 390 and the Lake Ontario State Parkway.

The town board's practice of opening each meeting with a prayer, which started in 1999, was legally challenged in 2008,[29] on the grounds that all prayers offered to open the meetings had, until that point, been Christian ones.[30] The United States District Court, Western District of New York, ruled in favor of the town in 2010,[31] and the Second Circuit Court of Appeals reversed that decision in 2012,[32] setting the stage for a 2014 decision by the Supreme Court of the United States which ruled in favor of the town (see Town of Greece v. Galloway).[33]
The town is also represented in congress by three different representatives, the State Assembly Representative, State Senatorial Representative and the Congressional Representative.

|---|---|---|---|
| Josh Jensen | 2020–Present | New York State Assembly Representative | 134th Assembly district |
| Jeremy Cooney | 2020–Present | New York State Senatorial Representative | 56th Senatorial District |

The town's New York State Assembly Representative is Josh Jensen who represents the towns of Greece, Ogden and Parma.
The town's New York State Senatorial Representative is Jeremy Cooney who represents the Towns of Brighton, Clarkson, Gates, Greece, Hamlin, Parma, as well as parts of the City of Rochester, including Charlotte, Historic Maplewood and the University of Rochester.
Greece's United States Congressional Representative is Joseph Morelle who was elected on November 6, 2018 replacing the late Representative Louise Slaughter, who had served as the United States representative for the 25th congressional district of New York from 1987 until her death in early 2018. He represents all of Monroe County except for the towns of Mendon, Rush, Hamlin, Wheatland, and one election district in the town of Clarkson.
Six of the 29 districts of the Monroe County Legislature include portions of Greece.
Education
[edit]Education in the Town of Greece dates back to at least 1798 when the residents of then Northampton elected the first school commissioner. In 1823, a year after its founding, the Town of Greece was divided into Common School Districts. By the end of the 19th century the town had seventeen Common School Districts, as well as two Joint School Districts on the Greece / Parma town border. During this time the districts were repeatedly renumbered and restructured as the population of students in the town grew.[34] Common School District #15 - Barnard School is the only building still functioning as a school. It is currently occupied by Derech HaTorah, a private Jewish school.[35]
Centralization of the Common School Districts began in 1928 with the consolidation of districts 3, 11 and 16 which were combined to form Greece Central School District #1 - Hoover Drive. Greece was the first centralized school district in Monroe County and the thirteenth centralized school district in New York State.[35]
As the population expanded rapidly following World War II, the Greece Central School district grew to accommodate its growing number of students. The first secondary school in town, Olympia High School, opened in 1959. Over the next 10 years two more secondary schools would follow; Arcadia High School (1963), and Athena High School (1969). The Hoover Drive School was eventually transformed to the Odyssey Academy before relocating to the site of the former Cardinal Mooney High School in 2012 following the consolidation of Apollo Middle School — which had previously occupied the Cardinal Mooney building — and Olympia High School.
Today there are three school districts serving the Town of Greece: the Greece Central School District, the Hilton Central School District and the Spencerport Central School District. The schools of the Greece Central School District educate approximately 11,000 students. Excluding New York City, the Greece Central School District is the seventh largest school district in the State of New York.[36] The post-elementary schools have Classical Greek names and mascots. Private sources of education within the Town of Greece include the Greece Montessori School, Rochester Academy Charter High School, Dorech HaTorah Jewish School and St. Lawrence Catholic School.
