Welcome to the Village of Perry Website
Let me tell you a little bit about our village. We are located in the
northeast corner of Wyoming County on New York Route 39 which is joined
by Route 246 within the village.
Wyoming County is the #1 dairy producing county in New York State and also is the home of more cows than people. 45,800 milks cows plus young stock and the latest census lists 43,424 people. The many dairy farms surrounding our village make us a truly green community.
A portion of Silver Lake is located within the village and is one of the smaller Finger Lakes with one unusual difference – the inlet and outlet are less than 100 yards apart. even though the lake is about 3 miles long and ¾ miles wide. It also supplies the village’s fresh water, as well as supplying water for Mt. Morris, Castile and the northern end of Letchworth State Park.
Letchworth State Park, known as the Grand Canyon of the east, is found about 2 miles east of the Village of Perry. Its amazing vistas and miles of hiking trails attract thousands of visitors all year round. Formed thousands of years ago by the Genesee River and preserved by William Pryor Letchworth, the park stretches some 14 miles from Portageville to Mt. Morris.
Another favorite summer attraction just south of the village is The Charcoal Corral which boasts one of the few 2 screen drive in theater in the State showing first run movies. You will also find an ice cream parlor, a pizzeria, and full menu charcoal grill, a video game room, a fine miniature golf course as well as local outside entertainment nearly every evening.
On the west side of Silver Lake you will find one of our best kept secrets. Over looking the lake is a previously private and recently made public, 18 hole golf course . I am sure any golfer will enjoy playing Silver Lake Golf Course
We are pleased to be the home of American Classic Outfitters, a company that produces uniforms for many professional sports teams. J.N. White Design also calls the Village of Perry home. The company produces labels for many well known manufacturers goods and does a variety of printing projects. Pioneer Credit Recovery, a division of Sallie Mae, is our largest employer. The 500-plus employees form a collection agency dealing with past due accounts of various government agencies.
Perry is the largest village in Wyoming County with a population, according to the 2000 census, of 3,945. We cover 2.37 square miles – or 1,516.8 acres – and also have the distinction of being part of both the Town of Perry and the Town of Castile.
We would be happy to have you come and visit our Village and take in our many attractions including Silver Lake, Letchworth State Park, The Charcoal Corral, The Silver Lake Golf Course, our restaurants including fine dining at The Lumber Yard Restaurant and The Hole in The Wall Restaurant.
Upon visiting our village and surrounding area you will behold the scenic beauty of the many farms and lush fields of alfalfa and corn and open space.
We look forward to seeing you;
Howard C. Wood
Mayor of The Village of Perry
