Victor is a six-mile-square township, peacefully and scenically situated in the northwest corner of Ontario County, nestled among the glacially formed rolling hills. The land's heritage dates back to its first inhabitants - the Seneca Indians.

Boughton Hill is a crossroads today, but during the 17th century it was the site of the Seneca Nation's principal village - Gannagaro. The Senecas, part of the Iroquois Confederacy, guarded the Haudenausanee from western invasion, and thus they were called "Keepers of the Western Door."
