This is the 2nd cache in a series of historical signs in Irondequoit. I will attempt to educate you on some of the history of Irondequoit.
Roadside historic markers are our windows to the past. They educate us, they make us curious to investigate, or they provide a nice excuse to take a break and stretch our legs while we read what happened here.
Irondequoit, originally a part of Brighton, held its first town meeting in 1839. Most of the original settlers lived in the area that later became known as Swaine’s (or Swayne’s) Corners. The name came from an Indian word meaning “bay”.
The house at the corner of Ridge Road and Culver Road was re-modeled by it's new owners and was called Swayne's Tavern. The intersection was soon called Swayne's Corners. This house is now replaced by a drugstore.
CONGRATS TO TeamMetras on FTF!!! : )
