History
The region was the territory for centuries of the Seneca people, one of the Five Nations of the Iroquois confederacy. They named the lake Ga-ne-a-sos, meaning "Berry Place". It was transliterated into English as "Conesus."
Solomon Woodruff, a native of Connecticut, settled here in 1789 as the first European American in the area, following the American Revolutionary War. The British ceded their territory to the United States without consulting with the Iroquois nations. Many of the Iroquois Native Americans were forced violently from the state, and settled primarily on a major reserve in Ontario.
The Seneca had to contend with Yankee settlers encroaching on their lands. Woodruff built a rough cabin, cleared a field, and planted his first crop of potatoes before returning to Connecticut for his family. He returned by oxcart with his wife to find that the Seneca had burned the cabin to the ground. (Their son died on the journey and was buried on a hilltop in Bristol, New York.) Woodruff rebuilt the cabin, and some of his descendants still reside in the area. He was buried in the Union cemetery.
The town developed between Conesus and Hemlock lakes, and was largely settled in the mid-19th century by ethnic European Americans from New England and New York. The construction of a railway line in the 1850s to Lakeville increased business opportunities and travel through the region.
