History
The village bloomed with the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825. Due to the canal, Jordan became larger than Elbridge Village farther south. In 1835, Jordan was incorporated as a village.
In 1983, much of the village was included in the Jordan Village Historic District and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
