Caledonia is a town in Livingston County, New York, United States.

The Seneca people long occupied much of present-day western New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio.

They had a village in this area called "Canawaugus" (or Conawagus); it was located on the west side of the Genesee River.

His father was a Dutch fur trader, John Abeel, whose family had been established in Albany.

Cornplanter was known as a statesman as well as a war chief, and he was influential in inviting Quakers to teach Seneca children on his land.

The Seneca, as allies of the defeated British, were forced to give up most of their land to the United States.

US Route 20 also crosses the southeast part of the town from west to east.

The Genesee River helps define the east town line.

Currently the Caledonia Fire District is the elected body which provides oversight and for financial needs of the emergency operations.

These services are available for both the village and town residents and currently housed at 3338 Caledonia-Avon Road.
