Penfield is celebrating its 200th year in 2010!

We are proud of our strong roots in the past as a milling and agricultural community. Penfield was established along the banks of the roaring Irondequoit Creek, which provided the power for the mills. Penfield is also rich in Dolomite rock. These two commodities are what the town grew up around.

Today, Penfield is a thriving residential and business community of about 35,000 residents on the eastern outskirts of Rochester. While we no longer have active mills, our Dolomite quarry is still a "booming" business!

Whether you grew up here, or have never even heard of Penfield, we invite you to join us for this great celebration. Come see where Penfield began, how we've grown, and what we have planned for the future!
