History
5
Seneca Falls has roots running deep and strong, and over three centuries the community has evolved into the historic gateway to the Finger Lakes since its founding in 1829. Its heritage endures in a strong work ethic, a family-centered community, and an intense respect for the beauty and resources that encompass and surround it. Its history includes visitation by Jesuit missionaries in the 17th century, immense technological growth driven by vast water resources and the railroad, and major social movements and reform, including the birth of the women’s rights movement and the Underground Railroad.
