Settlers along the Seneca River arrived in the area in the late 18th century. They were part of Sullivan's March and had seen the potential the area held. Water played an important part in the development of the area. Seneca County, when erected March 24, 1804, originally covered an area extending a distance of about 63 miles.

The Seneca River that runs directly thru town connects Seneca & Cayuga Lake and offers boaters an exceptional opportunity to dock & tour some of the downtown historic sites and grab a quick bite to eat. 

Seneca Falls gained a reputation for social and religious reform. Abolition of Slavery and the Underground Railroad, the Temperance movement and women's rights were among issues supported by local residents. n July 19 and 20, 1848 the first Convention on Women's Rights was held at the Wesleyan Chapel on Fall Street in Seneca Falls.
