The town of Wheatland lies along the west bank of the Genesee River in the southwest corner of Monroe County. In 1786; the adventurous frontiersman Ebenezer �Indian� Allan built a log cabin near the river. The Allan family soon moved on; but the settlement of the entire area west of the Genesee River had begun. The name given to the town in 1821 recognized the successful wheat crops already yielded by its fertile soil. Oatka Creek; which winds its way across town to the river; once powered flour and plaster mills that made the villages and hamlets of Wheatland thriving communities. Today Wheatland remains a rural area known for its picturesque countryside and its recreational opportunities.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. First review. really?By GregI bought this in conjunction with the Pleasantville book from the same publisher. I like them both. Easy reading. There is quite a bit about the village covered here. And the pictures are great and of high quality. Amongst other topics. this one gives a great history of the Kensico project. I was hoping for more about the Rockerfeller family. but imagine many books and articles. tv shows have covered that. Its a bit small for a coffee table book and now sits in a bookshelf.If your sole interest is P-ville. certainly get the other book. but add this one to your cart as well. or youll be missing out.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
