Tracing the origins of the land now called Charlotte is like following
an old game trail through ancient forest. Te tracks, crushed turf
and broken twigs are gone but an impression on the forest itself has
been left. A shallow furor, patches of exposed mud and a narrow
line cut through the undergrowth visible only when directly on the
trail then vanishing in the seeming chaos a pace to the left or right.
What is known is Charlotte was part of the hunting grounds
of the Seneca Nation. Te marsh and lowland woods near
the great lake of Ontario provided game in abundance
and fsh populated the river and the fresh waters of what
is but a part of the vast inland sea of the Great Lakes.
Perhaps the frst European to see the area was interpretor
and explorer tienne Brl who mapped the Genesse River
valley during his years spent living among the native peoples
at the behest of renowned explorer and benefactor Samuel de
Chmplain. Brl achieved notoriety after betraying Champlain
and France to the English. Te long time frontiersman met his
death at the hands of his own adopted Huron people in 1643.
Charlottes future didnt rest in the hands of the French and as
England slowly conquered New France a nascent United States
started to fll the space formally occupied by purely European
powers. In 1788, a mere year after the signing of the Constitution,
the Mill Yard Tract was created. Tis parcel was purchased from
the Senecas by New England businessmen Oliver Phelps and
Nathanial Gorham. Te lake shore portion of the parcel would
grow into Charlotte. Te beginning of the village was with a
single hut. Tis modest structure was built on the west bank
of the river by William Hincher and his son who were later
joined by his wife and seven daughters. Te village proper was
laid out in 1792 by Colonel Robert Troup who created single
acre lots of the now defunct Mill Yard Tract. Once divided
the whole area was named Charlotteburgh after his daughter.
Tese settlements preceded the founding of Rochester.
Te early 1800s saw the growth of Charlotte as a port town in the
vibrant trade network spreading through the Great Lakes. Frontier
merchant George Clinton Latta ran a feet of sleek squared sailed
schooners from Charlotte. Tis trade was seriously disrupted when
war broke out in 1812. Te threat of English naval raids coming
from Canada was so severe shipping had to be diverted miles
inland to Carthage Landing (near the Veterans Memorial Bridge).
Several encounters occurred at or near Charlotte with Royal Navy
forces actually landing in June 1813 to take supplies from the local
people. Later eforts were met frst by the ships under Commodore
Issac Chauncey and later the canons of local militia units.
Te end of the war lead to a true fowering of the lake trade
and in 1820 no less than 316 ships visited the port. To
accommodate the increased shipping the frst light house for
the port was built in 1821. However, the lake trade couldnt
compete with the Erie Canal and later railroad lines.
Te rebound and reinvention of Charlotte came after the Civil
War. Te schooners and heavy limbed sailors and dock workers
of the previous era gave way vacationers and excursion steamers
as port transitioned into a summer resort. Leaving behind the
summer heat to enjoy the cool lake air people focked to the small
port and the Genesee Yacht Club was established in 1874.
Over the years Charlotte has embraced its new role ofering a
sandy beach front and bustling park along with several eateries
near the lake. Rochesterians will fnd local favorites like Italian
food from Mr Dominics On the Lake. Cheeburger Cheeburgers
famed one pound burger beckons along with sushi from California
Rollin II. Savory steaks, BBQ and seafood can be found at LDR
Char Pit, Nolas BBQ and Pelicans Nest Restaurant respectively.
Finally, there is the Charlotte-Genesse Lighthouse. Dating
from 1822 the 40 foot octagonal tower now stands as the last
original lighthouse on Lake Ontario. Te site now houses
a museum and ofers a commanding view of the Port of
Rochester. Te lighthouse serves as a direct link to Charlottes
past while ofering an enviable view of its present.
