History of Godfreys Pond

The club was incorporated in 1909 as a Sportsmans Club in Batavia by a dedicated assembly of good fellows looking for a way to support conservation and a better hunting environment for its members. Many of these people camped and hunted, also, with their families became aquainted with Godfreys Pond area as a recreation area. As far back as 1888 people with means were looking into the recreational benefits of Godfreys Pond as can be attested to by clippings from the daily news.
