Rushville is a village situated in both Ontario and Yates Counties in the U.S. state of New York.

[2] Rushville was initially known as Federal Hollow, a name derived from its early settlers affinity for the Federalist political party, and its location within one of Canandaigua Lake's many hollows, or valleys.

Elias Gilbert became the first settler in the area, and established one of the first saw mills on the West River in 1800.
