The Town of Palmyra is on the south border of the county. The town contains a village also named Palmyra. The town is about 20 miles (32 km) southeast of Rochester, New York. History The prehistoric Adena Culture left mounds in the area. Palmyra was part of the Phelps and Gorham Purchase. The Town of Palmyra, originally called "Swift's Landing" after its founder John Swift and "District of Tolland," was created in 1789.[1] The sole local encounter between natives and white settlers that resulted in deaths occurred that same year. The present name was adopted in 1796, reportedly to impress a new school teacher. There were almost one thousand people in the town in 1800. The Erie Canal was completed up to Palmyra in 1822, although the canal was not completed to its western terminus until 1825. Palmyra is part of the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor.[2] In 1823, the Town of Macedon was formed from part of Palmyra's territory as part of the creation of Wayne County from Ontario County. Birth of Latter Day Saint movement See also: History of the Latter Day Saint movement, History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Smith Family Farm Smith log cabin Palmyra is the birthplace of the Latter Day Saint movement and Mormonism. Founder Joseph Smith, Jr., whose family lived on a farm that straddled the line between Palmyra and Manchester, said he had been visited by God the Father and Jesus Christ in 1820, an event known as the First Vision. In 1830 the Book of Mormon was first published in the village of Palmyra by E.B. Grandin, in the present Book of Mormon Historic Publication Site. Beginning in the early 20th century, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began buying and restoring many of the properties in the area associated with early church history. In 1997 the Smiths' log cabin was rebuilt on its original site and in 2000 the church built the Palmyra New York Temple on a portion of the former Smith farm.[3] Nearby towns : Towns Arcadia Butler Galen Huron Lyons Macedon Marion Ontario Palmyra Rose Savannah Sodus Walworth Williamson Wolcott Villages Clyde Lyons Macedon Newark Palmyra Red Creek Sodus Sodus Point Wolcott Census-designated places Marion North Rose Ontario Pultneyville Savannah Williamson Unincorporated communities Wayne county has a number of unincorporated communities.
