History

The region was first settled by outsiders around 1794, who discovered the bay called by the natives, "Assorodus," "Silvery Waters." This settlement became modern Sodus Point. During the War of 1812 the community was mostly burned during an attack by the British.
   A community of Shakers lived near here until about 1836, when they felt the development of the area was becoming too worldly.
   A lighthouse was erected on the western point of the bay in 1870, replacing an earlier lighthouse constructed in 1824.
   The bay was considered an important port. A rail line extending into Pennsylvania allowed coal to be place on board lake shipping.
