TOWN SUPERVISOR LESLIE BAMANN
& VILLAGE MAYOR JOHN HOLDEN
WELCOME to the Town and Village website. On behalf of both local governments, and our citizens and businesses, we encourage you to visit our community.
Whether you are visiting for the day, shopping at our many unique retail businesses or services, having a cup of coffee, or staying for lunch or dinner, you will find Victor is a great place to be.
If you are moving into the Village or Town, you will find that we offer a combination of services, cultural and recreational activities, infrastructure and other quality amenities that will make your living experience enjoyable and special.
The Village and Town were originally part of the Phelps and Gorham Purchase of 1788. The Town of Victor was set aside from the Town of Bloomfield in 1812 as an act of the New York State Legislature. A six-mile square piece of land was bought from this very large tract of land by Enos Boughton for 20 cents an acre, also in 1788.
The Village of Victor was incorporated in 1879, as it became the Town’s center for commerce and manufacturing. Three early railroads made the Village of Victor a hub for large quantities of produce, (especially potatoes, grain and apples) to be shipped all over the state and country. The buildings in our central business district reflect the architectural styles of the past and present.
You will find that our present Town Board and Village Board are committed to the on going process of revitalization of our downtown business district and preserving our ‘small town’ charm. Whether walking to the library, visiting our farmers’ market, listening to summer concerts at Mead Square Park, or just ‘Hanging Around Victor’ (at our Chamber of Commerce September event, which includes Victorfest, a Town and Village event in the evening), Victor is a great place to live, work, visit, or do business.
