The hamlet of Sanborn is located in the southeastern corner
of the Town of Lewiston on the CSX Railroad Line. The Sanborn
area covers 10 square miles and is home to Niagara County Community
College. This community, rich in history, was formally engaged
in agricultural but now has many retirees and is considered
a bedroom community for those who work in nearby cities. On
February 12, 1864, the newly formed New York Central Railroad
named their stop after the Rev. Ebenezer C. Sanborn, a Methodist
minister, who arrived in 1846. Its historic legacy is reflected
in the antique stores and co-ops located in the hamlet and in
its Historical Society and Museum. A Farm Museum is on the drawing
board which will preserve, interpret and promote the heritage
of rural Niagara County for residents and visitors alike. |
