Ontario County, a government administration entity based in Canandaigua, New York, provides local governance and public services to residents and businesses in the county. Established in 1789, it maintains a substantial records and archives program through the Ontario County Records and Archives Center, preserving pioneer era documents that support research and transparency. The county functions as a mid-sized public organization responsible for administration, property assessments, record keeping, and community services. In recent years, it has collaborated with regional partners to support economic development and respond to disruptions affecting small businesses. A notable development occurred in January 2021 when Visit Finger Lakes partnered with Ontario County Economic Development Corporation to address pandemic-related job losses and business closures. Information on current job opportunities and other public-facing services is available on the county's website.
