Nunda, Portage, and Genesee Falls by Thomas S. Cook Pdf
Over two centuries ago, surveyors laid out the town of Nunda along the American frontier of western New York State. Named for the Native American village that once stood within its borders, Nunda swelled with settlers seeking to build a better life for their families. The vast township was soon carved into several smaller towns, including Portage and Genesee Falls. Nunda, Portage, and Genesee Falls explores the history of these three towns through historical images and resources from the collections of the author, the Nunda Historical Society, town historians, and area residents. Vintage photographs also tell the stories of the Genesee Valley Canal, the great Portage Bridge, and Letchworth State Park.
