Geocache Description:


This cache is located East of the Village of Spencerport along the historic Erie Canal.  Did you know Spencerport was orginally called Spencer's Basin?  An easy park-n-grab on the way to a lovely place to walk and cache. There is no need to leave the pavement, climb over guardrails or bushwack. Easy!

"In 1804, Daniel Spencer bought a farm about 1 12 miles (2.4 km) north of Ogden Center. When the Erie Canal opened, the farm, through which the canal passed at the Canawaugus Road, was sold to become the first village lots. As a port on the canal, the area was called Spencer's Basin and later changed to Spencerport.

On April 22, 1867 the New York State Legislature incorporated Spencerport as a Village and William Slayton was elected as its first mayor."
