History

Rushville was originally called Federal Hollow. The town was called this because many its initial settlers favored the Federalist political party, and it is located in one Canandaigua Lake’s many hollows, or valleys. Elias Gilbert was the first settler in Rushville, also opening one of the first saw mills on the West River in 1800.

Federal Hollow became Rushvile in 1819, when it got a Post Station. Town leadership chose the name in honor of Dr. Benjamin Rush, a hero of the American Revolution, at the suggestion of local doctor Ira Bryant. The first postmaster was Chester Loomis.

The Milton Wilson House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.

In 2017, the village voted no to dissolution, 179 “no” to 96 “yes.”
