Morley is a hamlet in Canton (town), New York.

Geography

Morley is on the Grasse River, 6 miles (9.7 km) downstream (north) from the Village of Canton, where the river goes through some rapids. Today, Morley is at the junction of St. Lawrence County Routes 14 and 27.

History

Morley was first settled in 1810. It was originally known as Long Rapids. A post office was established in 1839, and the hamlet got its new name of Morley in that year. The post office has since been closed. In its heyday, the center of activity in Morley was the Harrison Grist Mill. At its peak, the hamlet had a population of about 300.

The Harrison Grist Mill and Trinity Episcopal Chapel are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1]

gollark: My very old and bad storage system used to have an autocrafting system, but it was very primitive and could only handle simple cases where there's only one way to make each thing.
gollark: Well, this is interesting, at least the bits I vaguely understand.
gollark: Yep!
gollark: An interesting fact is that functions can have multiple return values, which is a different thing to tables and iterators because of course.
