Diary of Dean Richmond Jr. (in whose memory the library was founded)

Located in the heart of Western New York, Genesee County, named from the Seneca word meaning “Beautiful Valley", was created in 1802 to meet the needs of a growing population. The original boundaries extended from Lake Ontario to the north, the Genesee River to the east, south to the Pennsylvania state line and to Lake Erie in the west.
