Incorporated in 1814, Perry initially was an agricultural area that increasingly came to be known for its proximity to beautiful scenery: the popular resort area of Silver Lake (pictured at top center), and the Genesee River gorge eventually constituted as Letchworth Park. The availability of water from the Silver Lake outlet enabled a number of mills and other manufactures to be located in the town. Like many of its neighbors, Perry also had a salt mining company (under various names between 1886 and 1909). bird's eye view Letchworth State Park Map Perry, NY Silver Lake https://openvalley.org/files/original/7178a07c64a294edf50b33f0d780be5d.jpg a48fc481289ca914328b04c5dcc0614d https://openvalley.org/files/original/fb91a48d2b882c5051809388f3f3bce3.jpg 0c00e01befd8428d351e55b2d22e2918 Still Image A static visual representation.
