Items related to Victor (New York): The History of a Town
Synopsis
Victor, New York, a prime target of the rapid expansion of suburban Rochester, is the fastest-growing township in Ontario County. It is also home of the state's only park devoted to the American Indian, on the site of Ganondagan, a Seneca village burned by a French army in 1687. Now in its third printing, this lavishly-illustrated book by a trained journalist portrays the forces which shaped and still shape the town, with the aid of 159 photographs plus charts, maps, chronology, extensive notes and an index.
In this book, Victor's history is broken into seven periods: its geologic past, Indian inhabitants (10,000 BC to 1788), arrival of New England settlers (1788-1812), initial development (1812-1865), the flourishing Victorian era (1865-1913), Depression years and recovery (1913-1946) and suburban growth, inevitable since Governor Thomas E. Dewey broke ground in Victor for the western section of the New York State Thruway in 1946. The area around the Victor interchange is now ! a center for high tech industry as carefully-planned residential development draws the town's population toward 8,000.

About the Author
Lewis F. Fisher is a member of a family that has lived in Victor for eight generations.

Review
An eminently readable and authoritative history of the town, . . . a balanced study that includes social and economic movements as well as the role of a number individuals, including the eminent but also a number who would otherwise be completely forgotten. His concluding chapters, the years since 1946, is an especially valuable study of the influence of modern transportation and related phenomena upon a rural township. A large number of illustrations, a chronology, bibliography, notes and a detailed index contribute to the work. Lewis Fisher's study will have particular meaning to residents of Victor and the surrounding area, but it will be of value to any student of New York history. --New York History
