Honeoye Falls is a village in Monroe County, New York, United States. The population was 2,674 at the 2010 census. The village includes a small waterfall on Honeoye Creek, which flows through the village and gives it its name. Honeoye (pronounced ‘hʌ.ni.,ɔɪ or HONEY-oy)〔(Honeoye Lake Area Chamber of Commerce ) ''honeoyelakechamber.org'', accessed March 16, 2012.〕 is a Seneca word translated as "a lying finger," or "where the finger lies."〔(Early History of the Town of Richmond ), ''bluesom.com'', accessed March 16, 2012.〕 The Village of Honeoye Falls is within the Town of Mendon. Honeoye Falls is currently in the process of developing a "sister cities" relationship with Borgne, Haiti. ==History== The Village was founded in 1791 by Zebulon Norton when he purchased of land for the price of 12½ cents per acre. He built a grist mill and later a saw mill, 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 to differentiate it from the earlier mill. On May 17, 1973, the Lower Mill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Honeoye Falls Village Historic District, St. John's Episcopal Church, Totiakton Site, and United States Post Office are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Honeoye Falls experienced an epidemic of scarlet fever in April 1893.〔State and Vicinity. April 23, 1891.
