About Webster

The Town of Webster has evolved from berry and fruit farms tended by German immigrants to an upper-middle class suburb and the home of much of Xerox's manufacturing operation. Its housing stock has grown dramatically since 1990 and has experienced substantial retail development along the Route 104 corridor.

Home to Webster Park, an enormous plot of land (550 acres) that includes a pier for fishing and strolling along, several enclosed lodges, a baseball diamond and multiple tennis courts.

Webster is also home to the Webster Aquatic Center and Webster Field House and was named the "Number 1 Sportstown in New York"¹ for 2004 by Sports Illustrated, based on the work of the Webster Community Partnership.

Webster 14580 Zipcode - see footnote

The Webster Zip Code, 14580, (shown in light violet in the graphic ¹ to the right) includes most of the Town of Webster, outlined by the red lines on the graphic.

Some Webster residences in areas to the east will have Ontario Zip Code mailing addresses.

However, the 14580 Zip Code extends well into Penfield and many businesses within Penfield have Webster mailing addresses. This is especially confusing for the many businesses in, and surrounding, Baytown Plaza. Examples of Penfield businesses with Webster mailing addresses include Royal Dynasty, in the plaza, and Earthtones Coffee House across the road.
