First, let me tell you a little about Penn Yan. Where’d the name Penn Yan come from? The area was originally settled by people from Pennsylvania and “Yankees” from the New England area starting in 1799. Hence the name Penn Yan! Located in the beautiful countryside of Yates County, the village of Penn Yan was officially incorporated in 1833. It is in the heart of the Finger Lakes, just over an hour from both Syracuse and Rochester. The county itself is surrounded by lakes, Canandaigua to the west, Keuka to the south, and Seneca to the east. From the farmland in the rolling hills to the scenic lake views, Yates County is one of the most stunning areas in New York State.
