Village of Macedon, located in southwestern Wayne County, was settled in 1789 and incorporated as a village in 1856. The Liberty League, the “uncompromising” faction of the abolitionist Liberty Party, selected Gerrit Smith as its presidential candidate at a convention in Macedon in 1847. Bickford & Huffman developed a grain mill in 1849 that was popular among southern farmers until the time of the Civil War. Howard & Richard Samuels founded the Kordite Company in Macedon in 1946 which revolutionized the packaging industry through the use of plastic bags. The Village of Macedon is located on the historic Erie Canal and features an operating lock—Lock #30 of the Barge Canal System.
