Town of Montezuma
| The Town of Montezuma is located at the great bend in the Seneca River in central Cayuga County, New York. Montezuma became the western terminal when the Erie Canal opened in 1820. The Town has ongoing efforts to assure that its rich canal history will be preserved and enjoyed for generations to come. One effort is a Four Canals Historic Park which has been proposed by the Cayuga County Planning Department and the Town of Montezuma for State development. It would encompass approximately 140 acres of parkland highlighting these historic resources that are adjacent to the Montezuma Wildlife Refuge and upstream from the Montezuma State Wildlife Management area. Montezuma is home to 1,431 persons. |  |
