Findley Lake, New York human settlement in United States of America

The hamlet of Findley Lake is part of the town of Mina in southwestern Chautauqua County, New York in the United States, and is situated at an elevation of 1440 ft above sea level. The hamlet is located on the north shore of Findley Lake, and was settled by War of 1812 veteran Alexander Findley, a native of Northern Ireland who had emigrated to America sometime around 1769, settled in eastern Pennsylvania, married and started a family, and returned to Ireland for a few years before making the decision to live permanently in the United States. After purchasing land in Greenfield, Pennsylvania in 1805, he then purchased lot 52, near what is now Findley Lake, from the Holland Land Company in 1811, and built a dam there in 1815 to power his mill, thus creating the lake from two ponds. The settlement that grew up around the mills prospered.
