History

Getzville received its name from Joseph Goetz, who was a postmaster and owner of a copper shop and mill. The hamlet consisted of one main road running northsouth and a center area bounded by a cross street on the north and the railroad on the south. In town, there was a stave factory and a cooperage, important because barrels were needed to store most foodstuffs and beverages such as cider and beer. There was also a creamery, a cider mill, a surgeon, and lumber shop. In 1855, the single track of the new Canandaigua and Niagara Falls Railroad opened with a station at Getzville. This railroad became known locally as the "Peanut Line" because of its small size and relative insignificance. It was later operated by the New York Central until it was discontinued in the late 1950s. In these early days most of the residents were farmers, so the few shops in town catered to agricultural needs. By the mid 1860s many of the large farms around town were owned by German immigrants, as well as several of the shops in the town. The settlement grew to have a predominantly German population. In the early 20th century, the town had a population of about 1,000 people. It is located in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, near the town of Niagara Falls and the city of Binghamton. The town is located on New Home Road, which is what is today Campbell Boulevard, and Lintz Street.
