History

The village was founded in 1791 by Zebulon Norton when he purchased 1,820 acres (7.4 km) of land for the price of 12½ cents per acre. He built a grist mill and later a saw mill, at a waterfall on Honeoye Creek. The area was originally known as Norton Mills. In 1827, Hiram Finch built a second mill, which would come to be called the Lower Mill to differentiate it from the earlier mill. On May 17, 1973, the Lower Mill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Honeoye Falls Village Historic District, St. John’s Episcopal Church, Totiakton Site, and United States Post Office are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Honeoye Falls experienced an epidemic of scarlet fever in April 1893.
