History
Prior to European settlement, the area which makes up modern Brockport was primarily occupied by the Muoio Indian tribe, a part of the Seneca (a member of the Iroquois Confederacy). The Muoio people were sustained in the region mostly by hunting indigenous wildlife like deer and the occasional black bear. Shortly after white settlers arrived, most of the Muoio died of disease and the few survivors traveled to Canada.
The village of Brockport was founded by Heil Brockway in 1822 and incorporated in 1829. The village was important due to being a port on the Erie Canal. Brockport was briefly the canal's terminus until it was extended to its final western end at Buffalo.
The Brockport Collegiate Institute was founded in 1841. It was a private academy, part of the widespread academy movement of the time. In October 1869, the Gamma Sigma Fraternity was founded at the Brockport Normal School. Gamma Sigma was the first high school fraternity started in the United States. SUNY Brockport officially called the "State University of New York Brockport", is the descendant of that institute and is known for its teaching and nursing programs. It boasts the Morgan–Manning House, a Victorian era home built in 1854 on Main Street (NY 19).
