OUR RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY |
|
|
 The Town of Wheatland was first established
in 1821 and is made up of several smaller
communities including the Village of
Scottsville, and the Hamlets of Mumford,
Garbutt, Belcoda, Beulah and Wheatland
Center.
Many of the original older homes in
Whealtland date back to the early 1800's -
visitors can recognize these houses by the
historical marker on the front that notes the
approximate date in which the house was
built. In general, our residents take pleasure
in the small town life of farms, woods, and
parks nearby, but also enjoy the convenience of being just 10
miles southwest of downtown Rochester, NY.
Residents are served by 2 school districts, Wheatland Chili
and Caledonia Mumford Central Schools. To learn more
