History
Before Euro-American settlement, the area that became Scottsville lay within the territory and hunting grounds of the Seneca people, one of the nations of the Haudenosaunee. This Indigenous presence shaped the region for centuries before permanent non-Indigenous settlement began in the late eighteenth century.
Scottsville developed in an area of very early non-Indigenous settlement in western New York. Local histories identify Ebenezer "Indian" Allan as settling near Oatka Creek in 1786, and Jacob Schoonover as another early settler who arrived in 1790. The village later took its name from Isaac Scott, who came to the area in 1790 and purchased about 150 acres (0.61 km2) from the Wadsworth family that became the nucleus of the settlement. Scott's log house was at the southwest corner of Main and Rochester streets in the village.
