WILLIAM G. POMEROY FOUNDATION 2014
Poolsbrook (or Pool’s Brook) was named for Peter Pool, who built a saw mill at this site around 1815. Pool also had a store that served people traveling the Erie Canal. While both the saw mill and store are gone, this area still bears the name from this bygone era.
