Welcome to the Town of Potter, NY
Welcome to the official website of the Town of Potter, nestled in the beautiful northwest corner of Yates County, New York. With a population of approximately 1,865 residents, Potter offers a unique blend of rich history and scenic rural charm. Established in 1832, the town was named after Arnold Potter, whose family played a significant role in its early development. Located south of Canandaigua and spanning 34.5 square miles, Potter is a peaceful community surrounded by picturesque landscapes, making it a perfect place to call home or visit.
Our town is proud of its historic roots, with early settlers including families like the Browns, Lanes, and Griffins, who helped shape the area. Over the years, Potter has evolved from its agricultural beginnings, with notable industries such as milling and distilling playing key roles in its growth. Today, Potter’s rich heritage is celebrated through landmarks like the Yatesville Methodist Church and the James Hobart House, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. We invite you to explore our website and learn more about what makes Potter a special part of Yates County.
