Welcome to:

Village of Phelps

Nestled in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, Phelps is primarily a rural community still unspoiled by heavy industry. Surrounding farms were responsible for canning industries in its early growth. Dairy and crop farms still surround the village today, growing grain, cabbage, sun-flowers, strawberries and more.

Modern-day Phelps offers scenic beauty with its tree lined streets, stunning architecture as well as Flint Creek and Canandaigua Outlet running through the village.
