History
Originally called “Short Mill,” Shortsville began its existence in 1804 when Theophilus Short built two mills along the shores of the Canandaigua Outlet; the village was then incorporated in 1889.
Shortsville grew as a mill town and a number of flour, wool and paper mills were built in addition to Short’s original flour and saw mills.
Companies that once inhabited Shortsville include Empire Drill Works, founded by Hiram and Calvin Brown in 1850 and operated until 1900, Shortsville Wheel Company, a manufacturer of carriage and automobile wheels, founded in 1889 and closed in the early 20th century, and Papec Machine Company, a manufacturer of farming implements, which ceased operation in the 1980s.
The first school in the village was built in 1807, a district school was built in 1911, and the Shortsville High School was completed by 1915. The property where this latter building was located is now occupied by a building and field associated with St. Dominic Church, a parish of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester.
