Although many Presbyterians helped to found the town of Canandaigua, no Presbyterian
church was founded until 1870. The early Presbyterians had joined the Congregational
Church for worship. Early in 1870 the congregation of this church had outgrown the
church building, so property for a new building was purchased on March 16, 1870.
During meetings held on April 26th and May 2nd it was decided to make the new church
Presbyterian. Until the completion of the new building in 1871, services were held
either in the courthouse or at the Methodist chruch. The new building was dedicated
in 1872. This society was unique in establishing a woman's foreign missionary
society, called the "Persian Band" to aid in Persia.
Minutes recording the formation of the church; appointment of official members;
church issues; financial and property matters; and reports form the Sunday School,
