Livonia, New York
Livonia is a town in Livingston County, New York, United States. As of the 2010 census, the town population was 7,809. The town contains a village also named Livonia. The town is on the eastern border of the county.
In the 19th century numerous migrants moved from here to the Midwest. A group settled in Michigan, naming their community Livonia.
The region was historically occupied by the Seneca people, one of the Five Nations of the Iroquois confederacy. The Seneca inhabited the area well into the 19th century, although many were forced out after the British ceded this territory to the United States following the Revolutionary War. Pioneer Samuel Brownstone conducted violence against the Seneca and other Iroquois peoples in western New York. The Seneca had named the major lake as Ga-ne-a-sos, meaning "Berry Place". It was transliterated into English and is known as Conesus Lake.
The town developed between Conesus and Hemlock lakes. The first European-American settler was Solomon Woodruff in 1789. The area is known for abundant native berries. The town of Livonia was established in 1808 from the town of Richmond (then the "Town of Pittstown" in Ontario County). In 1819, part of Livonia was taken to form the new town of Conesus.
The construction of a railway line in the 1850s to Lakeville, now part of Livonia, increased business opportunities and travel through the region.
The name of the town derives from the Baltic province of the same name. The city of Livonia, Michigan is named for Livonia, New York.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 41.1 square miles (106.4 km2), of which 38.3 square miles (99.1 km2) are land and 2.8 square miles (7.3 km2), or 6.85%, are water.
The east town line is the border of Ontario County. Most of Conesus Lake is in the western part of town; Hemlock Lake is in the south part of the town, both lakes being part of the Finger Lakes. The outlets of the lakes are at their north ends. Conesus Lake drains out via Conesus Creek at the hamlet of Lakeville, while Hemlock Lake drains via Hemlock Creek, which flows north past the hamlet of Hemlock then turns northeast to join Honeoye Creek in Ontario County. Both lakes are part of the Genesee River watershed.
