History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

The town of Gates was organized in 1797 as "Northampton" in Ontario County. In 1808 the town was subdivided and the part still called Northampton was renamed "Gates" and incorporated on April 1, 1813, in honor of General Horatio Gates. In 1821 Monroe County was formed, including the town of Gates. Parts of the town were later detached to form the city of Rochester and the town of Greece, both of which now border the town.

The Franklin Hinchey House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
