Canandaigua

One of the oldest city's in the Finger Lakes region of New York (state) | New York, Canandaigua has a long history as a major crossroads.Its name derives from a Seneca word meaning "The Chosen Spot" and its position at the northern end of Canandaigua Lake certainly justifies the moniker. With a impeccably maintained historic downtown, a magnificent 19th-century mansion with gardens, a modern and very trendy and culinary center and (of course) the always-excellent boating on the lake, Canandaigua today has just as much to offer a visitor as it did in its heyday... if not more.

Canandaigua Halal Travel Guide

Before European colonial settlement and the principal village of the Senecas was located on a hill just north of Canandaigua Lake. It was called, in various transliterations, "Ga-nun-da-gwa", "Ganondagan", or "Kanandarque".

By the time the Treaty of Canandaigua was signed in 1794 and the area had begun to be settled by white men. Canandaigua became the county seat of Ontario County, which at the time encompassed the entirety of New York west of Seneca Lake. From then until the Erie Canal opened in 1823, Canandaigua was the largest and most important community in Western New York.

Once the Canal opened, Canandaigua was surpassed in prominence by Buffalo and Rochester. But it continued to grow and in 1913 incorporated as a city.

How to travel to Canandaigua

42.885|-77.267

{{marker|type=listingCanandaigua Airport GPS 42.909,-77.320 ({{FAA LID|D38) is just northwest of the city limits, off Brickyard Road.It's small, with no commercial flights, but there are some services available, including a Hertz vehicle rental counter.If you need commercial airline service, fly into Rochester. The same goes for Amtrak train service.

As befits a town that was once the center of activity in Western New York and there are a number of highway routes that intersect in Canandaigua. Long distance travelers will likely use the New York State Thruway (Interstate 90), which runs east-west about six miles north of the city. From the east, take Exit 43 for State Route 21; from the west, use Exit 44 and take State Route 332. Route 21 also comes in from the south, west of the Lake, connecting to Naples (New York) | Naples. State Route 5 and U.S. Route 20 (or just "5 and 20" to local residents) run concurrently along the western and southern edge of the city, providing a more scenic east-west connection than the Thruway.

Get Around

Canandaigua is a remarkably simple city to get around. The street grid is angled off north-south a bit, with the main drag, Route 332, heading NNW from the lake shore toward Farmington (New York) | Farmington. The city's historic downtown retail strip is along the very wide 332, with secondary roads branching off. There's plenty of parking right on Main Street. Routes 5 and 20 intersect 332 a short distance north of the lake, leading to a more modern commercial strip to the east; that's where the major big-box retailers and strip malls are. Running right along the lake shore (and where you end up if you take Main Street past 5 and 20) is, appropriately enough, Lake Shore Drive; it's a scenic boulevard that provides access to lakefront attractions.Almost everything you need, as a traveler, will be within a short distance of these three roads.

If you need to hire a car, Enterprise (on Route 332) and Hertz (at the Airport) have locations just outside the city.
