Assorodus

Assorodus, a name associated with Sodus Bay, lies on the southern shore of Lake Ontario. Sheltered behind a narrow barrier, the bay opens onto the great lake north of the Cayuga homeland. The Cayuga were one of the founding nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, with villages around the lake that bears their name to the south. In 1779 American forces destroyed Cayuga villages and crops during the Sullivan-Clinton campaign.
