History

Macedon became an inland port, located near Lock 30 on the Erie Canal (completed in 1825). The village was incorporated in 1856. Lock 30 of the canal is still in use. In the mid-late 19th century, Macedon was home of Bickford & Huffman, a manufacturer of grain drills which eventually became part of the Oliver Farm Equipment Company.

Remnants of the former Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 61 (also called the Upper Macedon Lock) are located off Route 31F and Route 350, across the road from the current Lock 30 behind Berry Plastics Corporation. It was a double-chamber lock built in 1842, and had a lift of 6.69 feet (2.04 m) to the west. The area now serves as a spillway for Lock 30 which is managed by the New York State Canal Corporation.

The village is part of the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor. Erie Canal Lock 30 is located beyond Macedon Fire Department at Canal Park, just off Route 31F and Route 350. It was built around 1914, and has a lift of 16.4 feet (5.0 m) to the west.

The village disincorporated on March 31, 2017. All administrative functions of the former village are now handled by the Town of Macedon.
