Return to Index History & History Related Items Greece history: Greece was originally called Northampton. At the time of its naming, there was great sympathy toward the Greek people who were then fighting for independence from Turkey, thus, the name of Greece. Part of Greece until 1916 when it was annexed to the City of Rochester, Charlotte, was the Town seat. Charlotte was incorporated as a village in 1869 and was named for the daughter of Colonel Troup, a large landowner at that time. From its founding on 22 March, 1822, until World War I, agriculture was the mainstay of the area economy, helping Greece to thrive as it became a major supplier of farm produce to the state. It access to Lake Ontario, the Genesee River and the Erie Canal helped it to market its goods and become a real transportation hub. After World War I, it began to diversify and move away from agriculture. Though the town grew, annexations in 1916 and 1919 by the City of Rochester kept the population growth down. After World War II, many new homes were built and farms and orchards were plowed under for residences. The town of Greece, when it was founded in 1822, was named for the people of Greece who had won their independence just the year before. Once part of Greece until 1916, Old Charlotte became Rochester's 23rd Ward at that time. Still standing today as a monument to the early days of lake shipping is the stately stone lighthouse. It was built the same year the township was founded. Here is a town history page for Greece. Return to Index Attractions Greece attractions: Culture abounds in Greece.
