Quotes:
The day after my arrival at Dunkirk I walked out to Fredonia, formerly Canadaway, four miles. Canadaway creek rises in the dividing ridge, interlocking with the sources of the Connewango branch of the Allegany river, and flowing north-west towards Lake Erie, tumbling from precipice to precipice ... Fredonia is built upon each bank of this creek, a new and flourishing village.
-- A Tour from the City of New-York, to Detroit, 1818
