About Brockport, NY

Prior to European settlement, the area that makes up modern Brockport was primarily occupied by the Muoio Indian tribe, a part of the Seneca (a member of the Iroquois Confederacy). The Muoio people were sustained in the region mostly by hunting indigenous wildlife such as deer and the occasional black bear. Shortly after white settlers arrived, most of the Muoio died of disease and the few survivors traveled to Canada. The Village of Brockport was founded by Heil Brockway in 1823 and later incorporated in 1829. The village grew to importance as a port on the Erie Canal.
