The Town of Fayette

The Town of Fayette is located in the center of the Central Finger Lakes region, between Seneca and Cayuga Lakes. It is bordered to the north by the Seneca-Cayuga Canal and lies along the western border of the county, southeast of Geneva, New York. Fayette was part of the Central New York Military Tract and was first settled around 1790. The town was established from part of the Town of Romulus in 1800 as the “Town of Washington,” but it adopted its current name, Fayette, in 1803.
