The Village of Pittsford is one of the first settlements established in our region. During its early history, the Village was closely associated with stagecoaches, the Erie Canal and agricultural commerce. Over the 175 years since it was first incorporated, village residents have taken great pride in their community. Over the last fifty years, villagers have worked diligently to resist suburbanization, demolition of historic buildings, road widening, and the loss of downtown anchors. Today, due to their efforts, we enjoy tree-shaded residential neighborhoods, a vibrant downtown serving the greater Pittsford community, walkable streets, an outstanding collection of well-preserved historic architecture, and one of the most popular and successfully revitalized waterfronts along the entire length of the Erie Canal. The village of Pittsford remains an attractive destination to live, work, and visit. Village government is the steward of the key resources that distinguish the greater Pittsford area and continue to make the village the center of community life
