The Village was founded in 1791 by Zebulon Norton when he purchased 1820 acres of land for 12 1/2 cents per acre. He built a grist mill, and later a saw mill, at a waterfall of Honeoye Creek. The area was originally known as Norton Mills. In 1827, Hiram Finch built a second mill, which has 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 (building #73001200).
