	+ ------ + ''2012-11-30 19:10:52'' [[nbsp]] Actually, a lot of these town names were given to uninhabited lands when the Holland Land Company bought the Holland Purchase (Phelps-Gorham Purchase) of 1796. As the company sold groups of plots together around a planned town, they often used European town names, sometimes chosen at random, and sometimes to reflect something of a similar aspect to the land being offered. To be put on a map, a town had to have a name, and most of these town names existed before anybody actually lived in them. Such is the case for Riga, Chili, Greece, Batavia, etc. --["Users/alex-c"]

	+ + A town in southwestern Monroe County and home to ["Churchville Park"], which is more than one square file in size. + + Though the pace of development increased beginning around 1990, it's still largely a rural and agricultural community. Residential development will likely be stymied for awhile as the result of the opening of the Mill Seat Landfill in 1993.
