Editing Conesus, New York (section)

== History ==
Settlement began ''circa'' 1795. In 1819, Conesus was formed from parts of the towns of [[Groveland, New York|Groveland]] and [[Livonia (town), New York|Livonia]] as the "Town of Freeport". The name was changed to "Browersville" in March 1825 and was changed to "Conesus" a month later.

Conesus is home to the former St. Michael's Mission, a school for Catholic priests that operated from the 1930s until the 1970s. The sprawling complex on Mission Road is now owned by an evangelical Christian church from [[Colorado Springs]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://exploringupstate.com/the-mission-conesus-ny/|title=Touring the former St. Michael's Mission in Conesus {{!}}|last=Clemens|first=Chris|date=December 16, 2013|website=Exploring Upstate|language=en-US|access-date=June 4, 2019}}</ref>
