Administrative history
Geneva, New York was initially a Seneca Native American village known as Kanadesaga. Destroyed by the Sullivan Expedition in 1779 as punishment for the Iroquois cooperation with the British during the American Revolution, it was later resettled by Europeans. The village of Geneva was incorporated in 1806 and later linked to the Erie Canal by the Cayuga-Seneca Canal.
