Greece Wedding

Greece is a town in Monroe County, New York, USA. As of the 2000 United States census, the town had a total population of 94,141. The town motto is "Discover the Promise."

The Town of Greece is in the northern part of the county and borders the City of Rochester on the east, the town of Gates on the south, the towns of Parma and Ogden on the west, and Lake Ontario on the north. The town is a contiguous suburb of Rochester. The area known as Charlotte, on the eastern border, was formerly part of the town until it was annexed by the City of Rochester in 1916.

The Town of Greece was established in 1822 from part of the Town of Gates and was previously called Northampton. The name "Greece" was selected because of the contemporary struggle of Greece for independence from Turkey.

The region that the town now occupies was originally settled by the Algonquin and Iroquois Native Americans in the 1300s. European settlers began to arrive in the area in the 1790s.
