The Town of Greece is 5 miles Northwest of Rochester. The Town of Gates is on south side of Greece, the towns of Parma and Ogden on the west, and Lake Ontario is on the north. The area known as Charlotte, on the eastern border of Greece, was formerly part of the town until it was annexed by the City of Rochester in 1916.

History
The Town of Greece was established by the State Legislature on March 22nd, 1822 as Northampton and was a part of the Town of Gates. See History of Greece, NY from the town web site for more information.

Notes

Far and away Rochester's largest suburb with a population of about 95,000 residents in 2000, Greece was carved out of Gates in 1822.

Notable Attractions

• Home to the Greece Ridge Mall, a relatively large and pretty well-equipped shopping mall.
  

• Braddocks Bay is a nice change from Charlotte. Just follow the parkway—westbound.
