Sodus is a village in Wayne County, New York, United States. The village is located within the Town of Sodus, a separate municipal entity that encompasses a larger geographic area. The population was 1,667 at the 2020 census. Located near the southern shore of Lake Ontario, the village lies within the Town of Sodus and serves as its governmental and commercial center. It is part of the Rochester metropolitan area.
The area was originally inhabited by members of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy prior to European settlement. European American settlement in the area began in 1809 as part of broader post-Revolutionary migration into western New York. During the nineteenth century, Sodus developed as an inland agricultural and market center serving nearby Lake Ontario ports, including Sodus Bay, and the surrounding fruit-growing districts of Wayne County.
Sodus was incorporated as a village on December 30, 1917. Today it functions as a residential community and regional service center, supported by agriculture, small businesses, and the Sodus Central School District.
