Hanford's Landing Cemetery
also known as
King's Landing Cemetery
Rochester, New York
This cemetery is located on the east side of Lake Avenue, north of Route 104 (W. Ridge Rd.). It was at the furthest navigable location up the Genesee River before the Lower Falls. It was a very early settlement but sparcely settled area that was first used by the King family about 1797 then by the Hanford family beginning about 1809. The cemetery is maintained by Eastman Kodak.
