    Ebenezer "Indian" Allan built the area's first grist (flour) mill just north of the Genesee River's High Falls. : www.visitrochester.com/static/index.cfm?contentID=16 "Indian Allan," who was given a 100-acre plot of land on the west bank of the Genesee, if he built a mill for the use of the Indians -- was he scalawag as some claimed or were his descendents tricked out of the land that one day would be the future city of Rochester?: search.barnesandnoble.com/Rochester/Blake-McKelvey/e/9781... It was not until Ebenezer Allan (called "Indian Allan") built a saw and grist mill at the falls in 1790 that a small settlement began to grow up.: www.1911encyclopedia.org/Rochester,_New_York Ebenezer Allan at Dictionary of Canadian Biography, p.13-15: books.google.ca/books?id=evippMryHjsC&pg=PA13&lpg...

    1912 was the centennial of the official charter for "Rochesterville", the forerunner to the City of Rochester, which received its charter in 1834, hence the 1934 Centennial of the "City". See the City Timeline on City of Rochester website.

    Well, it says the Village of Rochesterville was incorporated In March 1817 but the first permanent settler was in 1812 so I get your point: They have multiple opportunities to celebrate a "centennial" and this is likely 1912.
