[edit] Geography According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 43.6 km² (16.8 mi²). 39.3 km² (15.2 mi²) of it is land and 4.2 km² (1.6 mi²) of it (9.69%) is water.

It should be noted that an unusual boundary exists between the Town of Irondequoit and the adjacent City of Rochester. On the western border of Irondequoit, the city claims a thin strip that extends northward along the banks of the river from Seneca Park to Lake Ontario, at some points less than 50 yards from the shore. The result is that the City of Rochester claims the entire eastern shore of the Genesee, and the border of the Town of Irondequoit never reaches the river. Lake Ontario (French: lac Ontario), bounded on the north by Ontario and on the south by Ontarios Niagara Peninsula and by New York State, is one of the five Great Lakes of North America. ...
Similarly, the northern half of Durand Eastman Park (including Durand Beach), lies within the city's borders, along with a narrow strip running along Culver Road for approximately five miles southward to Norton Street. This leads to much confusion, even among long-term residents, about whether places such as Seneca Park or Durand Park lie within the Town of Irondequoit or the City of Rochester. In fact, Seneca Park was annexed by the City of Rochester in 1891, and Durand Eastman Park was given to the city in 1908. These various boundary peculiarities are illustrated by this town map.

In 1965, Irondequoit became part of civil rights history by being part of the first totally voluntary desegregation program ever. The Urban Suburban Program, which still operates today, was begun with 25 first graders from the inner city of Rochester who peacefully began a 12 year educational process mostly in West Irondequoit while other cities all over the country wrestled with fear and chaos due to inner city riots and violent confrontations over forced busing programs. Although small in number of students involved, the program became a model for other similar programs around the country.
