Editing Dundee, New York (section)

== History ==
The community was known early by the name "Plainview". At first, the village did not thrive due to competition from another neighboring community, "Eddytown", but eventually prevailed over its rival.

Around 1834, residents began to seek a new name for the village and, persuaded by resident James Gifford (a native of Scotland) named the village "Dundee".

In 1859, 1860, and 1861, the village was severely damaged by fires.

Dundee was the original home of [[Seneca Foods]].

The [[Uriah Hair House]], [[Dundee Methodist Church]], [[First Presbyterian Church (Dundee, New York)|First Presbyterian Church]], and [[Dundee Village Historic District]] are listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]].<ref name="nris">{{NRISref|2009a}}</ref>
