In general, the soils underneath the Greenway tend to be gravelly or silty clay loam. The entire trail is fairly level, with the majority of slopes being less than five percent. A complete, narrative description of the soils can be found in Appendix F Natural Resources Flora A complete biological inventory of Greenway property is not presently available (October 2013). However, SUNY Geneseo botany students began to inventory flora within sections of the corridor.

  • A Guide to Parks in Monroe County
    THE BEAUTY WE LIVE WITH: A Guide to the Parks in Monroe County uThe beautiful is not to be stared at, but to be lived with." -Thomas Babington Macau ley ~ Thomas R. Frey Monroe County Executive MONROJfj~ COUNTY This page is blanl<. A CELEBRATION ... Treasures Forever Preserved: 100 Years of Public Parks A FAST DESCENT Workers water the toboggan slide at Ellison Park in this 1951 photo. Although the toboggan slide is no longer there, Ellison Park continues to be a popular wintertime park. The Beauty We Live With Just a little more than a century ago, most Rochester-area citizens saw little or no need for parks. It's not as surprising as it sounds; surrounded by the natural beauty that was the Genesee Valley, it was undoubtedly hard to imagine a time when only an act of government might preserve that beauty. But the need for parks, and places for people to play, was quickly becoming apparent. Dr. Blake McKelvey, City Historian Emeritus, explains the movement in A Growing Legacy, "Rowing clubs were appearing on the upper and lower Genesee River, properly garbed bathers of both sexes were congregating at Charlotte and Sea Breeze in the summertime, picnickers were flocking to Maple Grove at the northern end of the Lake A venue horsecar line, and skaters welcomed the clearing of ice above the Court Street dam for their enjoyment in successive cold winters." And so it is that today we celebrate the 100th year of the Rochester Park System, which began with the dedication of Highland Park. Throughout this century, we have continued to designate parcels of land as "forever wild" -creating parks in towns, parks in villages, parks in the City of Rochester, parks in Monroe County.

    Appendix The History of B Rochester Appendix B | The History of ROchester DRAFT - ROCHESTER 2034 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN B-1 The History of Rochester Early History 1803 A 100-acre tract in Western New York along the Genesee river was purchased by Col. Nathanial Rochester, Maj. Charles Carroll, and Col. William Fitzhugh, Jr. 1817 The Village of Rochesterville was formally established along the Genesee River, from which the City of Rochester would grow. 1823 Connected via roads, the river, and rail lines, by 1823, the Rochesterville village was a booming agricultural, milling, and industrial center, fueled by the opening of the Erie Canal. 1834 In 1834, with a population hovering at around 10,000 people, Rochester was incorporated as a city. 1838 By 1838, numerous flour mills were in operation in the Browns Race district, powered by the Genesee River’s mighty High Falls waterfall. Rochester soon became the largest producer of flour in the United States and earned its nickname, the “Flour City.” The population of Rochester continued to increase, attracting immigrants and settlers eager to put down roots in the bustling city. The rapid growth earned Rochester the distinction of being America’s first “boom town”. 1850S As the production of flour shifted to westward cities in the 1850s, Rochester’s economy was in a phase of transition. Nursery and seed businesses were thriving and beginning to dominate the local economy, rendering Rochester its second nickname, the “Flower City.” This new identity was enhanced by George Ellwanger and Patrick Barry, the city’s most influential horticulturalists, who cultivated over 500 acres of land into the Mount Hope Nursery.

Hope Cemetery PhelpsPhelps && GorhamGorham PurchasePurchase Castletown Before the European settlement of this area, the Genesee River had continuous rapids from just north of the current Elmwood Avenue Bridge to Broad Street in downtown Rochester. An old Indian trail crossed the Genesee River at a ford here at the lowest point of the rapids. This crossing point was also widely used by early settlers and travelers in this region, but was often dangerous. The first bridge across the Genesee opened at Main Street later in 1812, but Castletown remained a thriving settlement until 1822. The Erie Canal reached Rochester that year, In the 1790s, James and William Wadsworth purchased land from and the canal feeder along the east side of the river allowed Genesee River boats to Phelps and Gorham and could walk from Geneseo to Rochester on reach downtown Rochester without unloading at Castletown. Over time Castletown lost their own property. James Wadsworth envisioned a settlement at the its identity and became known as The Rapids. In 1845 Otis Turner founded the Baptist rapids of the Genesee River where boats from upriver could unload Church of the Rapids to serve its notorious residents, including many river and canal their cargo for the journey down to the falls.
