Town of Gates sealPreviously known as the Town of Northampton, the Town of Gates was incorporated on April 1, 1813. It was named after the American Revolutionary General Horatio Gates. Its first supervisor was Zaccheus Colby. In 1813, the town was located in Genesee County and its borders were north to Lake Ontario, east and south to the Genesee River, and west to Parma. Its borders included Rochesterville which incorporated in 1817 as part of the City of Rochester and the Town of Greece which incorporated in 1822. It became part of Monroe County in 1821.

After nine annexations, the Town of Gates is now only 15.06 square miles and is the smallest geographical town in Monroe County. The Town of Gates became part of Monroe County in 1821 when the New York State Legislature approved legislation creating the new county named after the 5th president of the United States, James Monroe.
