Canandaigua Lake is one of the 11 Finger Lakes formed during the Ice Age. The lakes are long and narrow (resembling fingers), and are oriented roughly on a north-south axis. The Finger Lakes area is New York's largest wine producing region.

The name Canandaigua is derived from the Seneca name spelled variously Kanandarque, Ganondagan, Ga-nun-da-gwa, or in a modern transcription, tganǫdę:gwęh, which means "the chosen spot", or "at the chosen town".
