Groveland is located between Geneseo and Dansville. Much of the community is agricultural. Groveland does border Conesus Lake on the southwest side and has about 160 homes on the water. Rochester is about 35 miles to the North and a short commute via the I-390 expressway.
The 2000 census says there is a population of 3,853. Rt. 36 which runs thru Groveland is also the location of the Groveland Correctional Facility which housed about 1,500 residents, just about half of the population.
There is a memorial monument at the Ambuscade Park on David Gray Hill Rd. which is off Barber Hill Rd. Where Revolutionary Lt. Thomas Boyd and Sgt. Michael Parker were ambushed and killed by the Indians and British troops while on a scouting mission. Boyd and Parker where soldiers under Gen Sullivan.
