Editing Honeoye Falls, New York (section)

==History==
The village was founded in 1791 by Zebulon Norton when he purchased {{convert|1820|acre|km2}} of land for the price of 12½ cents per acre. He built a [[grist mill]] and later a [[sawmill]] at a waterfall on Honeoye Creek. The area was originally known as "Norton Mills". In 1827, Hiram Finch built a second mill, which would come to be called the [[Lower Mill (Honeoye Falls, New York)|Lower Mill]] to differentiate it from the earlier mill.

Honeoye Falls experienced an epidemic of scarlet fever in April 1893.<ref>State and Vicinity. April 23, 1891. The Holley (NY) Standard. 1.</ref>
