In the 1820's the Erie Canal came through the area creating a steadily increasing population. The late 1880's and early 1900's brought the first signs of suburban development with the establishment of large country estates. Suburban development reached a high level in the 1950's when residential subdivision was greatly accelerated. Pittsford has continued to grow due to its reputation as one of the more attractive suburbs and because of its reputation for excellent schools.
