The Town of East Bloomfield is in the western part of the county, south of Rochester.

History

The area was originally the territory of the Iroquois confederacy. The Seneca village Ganondagan was destroyed by the Marquis de Denonville in 1687 as part of his campaign against the tribe. The Ganondagan State Historic Site was part of the original Town of Bloomfield, but in the present day is part of the town of Victor.

The town was part of the Phelps and Gorham Purchase.

The town was created along with the county in 1789 as "Bloomfield," but the name was changed to "East Bloomfield" after the creation of the Town of West Bloomfield in 1833. Other towns formed in 1812 from parts of East Bloomfield include Victor and Mendon, Mendon being in Monroe County.

East Bloomfield is home to the Northern Spy apple.

The East Bloomfield Historic District and George and Addison Wheeler House are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [3]
