Monroe County History
On the lake plain of the prehistoric waters of Lake Iroquois, is the watershed for a vast network of sparkling creeks draining northwards into Lake Ontario. Here was located the port city of the Genesee Valley, at Charlotte. A series of three waterfalls at Rochester once impeded navigation, but provided abundant power for many mills sites along the banks.
