Welcome to Byron, NY
Overview Byron is one of five towns in the northern tier of Genesee County, just west of the town of Bergen in the northeast quadrant and northeast of the city of Batavia. This is a small, quiet town where you enjoy country living with the benefits of being close to a city. Byron, which was named after Lord Byron, shares a school district with Bergen and the two towns are often associated together. Byron has traditionally been a rural area of dairy and vegetable farms. That’s still true today, although the town does have a few small businesses, such as a hardware store, an auto-repair shop, a pizzeria and a veterinary clinic. The town includes the hamlets of Byron and Pumpkin Hill, which also is called North Byron. Byron is bordered on the north by Clarendon, Orleans County; on the east by Bergen; on the south by LeRoy and Stafford; and on the west by Stafford and Elba. Black Creek, the principal stream, flows through the center of town. There are three parks in town, the biggest being Byron Community Park. Local Museums/Landmarks The Byron Museum is in the former German Lutheran Church, next to the Byron Center Cemetery on Townline Road. An archaeological site exists in Byron: The Hiscock Site, owned by the Buffalo Museum of Science, is where mastodon and paleo-Indian artifacts have been unearthed. The Hiscock family accidentally dug up a large tusk in 1959 while working on a pond.
