After Townsend’s business empire faltered, the community was renamed Glenora, meaning “Mouth of the Glen,” by Joshua Ingalls. The largest settlement within the township is the Village of Dundee, which was incorporated in 1848. Other communities in Starkey include the hamlets of Rock Stream, Lakemont, Starkey, and Shannon’s Corners. In recent years, new development has occurred along the Seneca lakefront bringing Starkey’s year-round population to almost 3,573. Starkey is home to several favorite local wineries such as Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard, Glenora Wine Cellars, Fulk- erson’s Winery, Ashley Lynn Winery, Rock Stream Vine- yards, Hickory Hollow Winery, Highland Cellars, Magnus Ridge, Shaw Vineyards, Bellangelo, and Starkey’s Landing.
