History

• Fairport was incorporated in 1867, having sprung up as a minor manufacturing foothold in the early days of the Erie Canal.

Fairport Zipcode Overlaps - See Footnote Fairport Zip Code

The "Fairport Zip Code", 14450, shown in pink in the graphic ¹ to the right, covers all of Fairport, small area outlined in blue. However, it also covers a majority of the Town of Perinton and parts of the Town of Penfield. In fact, there are no "Perinton" addresses; Perinton residences use Fairport, Victor, Pittsford, Penfield, or Macedon mailing addresses.

Notes

Fairport has its own electrical company (one of several in the state) which results in electricity rates that are 1/2 to 1/3 the amount of standard electrical rates.
