Company Description:
The Town of Webster is a scenic and thriving community, located in the northeast corner of Monroe County. Residents and business owners have chosen Webster as a location that offers the best of all worlds.Webster has a rich history and heritage: the site of present-day Webster was first discovered in 1669 by French explorer Robert LaSalle. Originally part of North Penfield, land was split off to create the new town. On July 25, 1837, Daniel Webster spoke to a large gathering on the Rochester courthouse steps concerning currency regulation and the state of the economy. The individuals who were part of Daniel Webster's audience that day were so impressed by his eloquence that when they petitioned the state legislature for separate town status from Penfield, they chose to name it in his honor. On February 6, 1840, Governor William Seward announced the birth of Webster, New York.
With its natural assets and exemplary recreational facilities, Webster is rapidly becoming New York's newest Destination for Recreation. With 22 miles of natural shoreline along Irondequoit Bay and Lake Ontario, opportunities for swimming, boating, fishing and other water sports abound. Webster is home to 12 parks (approximately 1000 acres). Webster is also home to the Webster Arboretum, as well as Webster Park, a 550-acre county park located along the shoreline of Lake Ontario. Webster maintains an extensive network of bike and hiking trails. Through the joint efforts of the Town of Webster and the Webster Central School District, state of the art recreational facilities that can support local, regional and state athletic competition have been built.
The Town's Parks and Recreation Department offers hundreds of programs throughout the year, where thousands of youths, adults and seniors take part in an immense variety of programs. This department is located on Chiyoda Drive (off of Phillips Road), where many of the organized activities take place. The Center is also available for community members to use.
This Town of 46,000 offers a variety of housing that includes family-oriented subdivisions, historic homes central to the Village, low-maintenance patio home neighborhoods for people on the go, communities specially designed with senior citizens in mind and more rural areas geared toward a country lifestyle.
