Brockport is a village that is largely in the town of Sweden, with two tiny portions in the town of Clarkson, all in Monroe County, New York, United States. The population was 7,104 at the 2020 U.S. census.[3] The name is derived from Heil Brockway, an early settler. It is also home to SUNY Brockport, which has an average class size of 5,966 students.[citation needed]
The village is roughly 20 miles (32 km) west of the City of Rochester, in the western end of Monroe County, bordering Orleans County. The village is north of the junction of New York State Route 19 (north-south) and New York State Route 31 (east-west) on Sweden's northern line.
Brockport is called "the Victorian village on the Erie Canal".[citation needed] In 2021[when?] the village portion of the Erie Canal was remodeled, providing a bricked walkway, a brand-new canal visitor center, and several pieces of art of historical significance.
