Penn Yan, County seat village in Yates County, New York, United States
Penn Yan sits at the northern end of Keuka Lake's east branch, covering sections of three towns: Milo, Benton, and Jerusalem.
The village, established in 1799 and incorporated in 1823, received its name from the Pennsylvania and New England settlers who first inhabited the area.
The community includes Old Order Mennonite and Amish populations who maintain traditional agricultural practices and horse-drawn transportation methods in the region.
The Birkett Mills, founded in 1797, continues to operate as one of the oldest grain processing facilities in the United States.
The name Penn Yan originated as a syllabic abbreviation combining 'Pennsylvania' and 'Yankee' to reflect the origins of its initial settlers.
