Canadice, New York

Canadice is a town in Ontario County, New York, United States. The population was 1,674 at the 2020 census.

The Town of Canadice is in the Finger Lakes region of New York and is in the southwestern part of its county.

The name of the town Canadice is a corruption of various words in local languages approximating 'Skaneadice', a common placename meaning 'long lake' which here referred to Canadice Lake. It would originally have been written Ska-ne-o'-dice in Onondaga and Seneca.

When the county was formed, Canadice was within a district named, in turn "Pittstown," "Honeoye," and "Richmond." Settlement began circa 1795 near the shore of Honeoye Lake. The town was first established on April 15, 1829 from the Town of Richmond but was not fully organized until the next year. A part of Canadice was taken back by Richmond in 1836.

As of 1868, There were three churches in the town, Methodist Episcopal, Methodist Protestant and Wesleyan Methodist.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 32.5 square miles (84 km2), of which 30.0 square miles (78 km2) is land and 2.4 square miles (6.2 km2) (7.43%) is water.

The eastern town line is partly defined by Honeoye Lake, the western town line by Hemlock Lake, and Canadice Lake is entirely within the town, both minor Finger Lakes.
