The population was 3,064 at the 2010 census. Nunda welcomes each visitor with signs stating, "Welcome to Nunda, A Nice Place To Live." The name is derived from Nunda-wa-ono, the name given to it by a group of the Seneca Indian tribe that once lived in the hills and valleys along the Genesee river and Keshequa stream within the present-day Town of Nunda. In the Seneca language, "Nunda" relates to hills and a popular translation is "Where the valley meets the hills".The Town of Nunda is at the southwest border of the county and contains a village also called Nunda.Nearby towns :TownsAvonCaledoniaConesusGeneseoGrovelandLeicesterLimaLivoniaMount MorrisNorth DansvilleNundaOssianPortageSpartaSpringwaterWest SpartaYorkVillagesAvonCaledoniaDansvilleGeneseo (county seat)LeicesterLimaLivoniaMount MorrisNundaCensus-designated placesByersvilleConesus HamletConesus LakeCumminsvilleCuylervilleDaltonEast AvonFowlervilleGreigsvilleGroveland StationHemlockHuntKysorvilleLakevilleLinwoodLivonia CenterPiffardRetsofScottsburgSouth LimaSpringwater HamletTuscaroraWadsworthWebster CrossingWoodsvilleYork HamletHamletCoopersvilleSteampunk is a subgenre of science fiction or science fantasy that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery.[1][2] Although its literary origins are sometimes associated with the cyberpunk genre,[3] steampunk works are often set in an alternative history of the 19th century's British Victorian era or American "Wild West", in a future during which steam power has maintained mainstream usage, or in a fantasy world that similarly employs steam power. However, steampunk and Neo-Victorian are different in that the Neo-Victorian movement does not extrapolate on technology and embraces the positive aspects of the Victorian era's culture and philosophy.[citation needed]Steampunk most recognizably features anachronistic technologies or retro-futuristic inventions as people in the 19th century might have envisioned them, and is likewise rooted in the era's perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, and art.[citation needed] Such technology may include fictional machines like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or of the modern authors Philip Pullman, Scott Westerfeld, Stephen Hunt, and China Miéville.[original research?] Other examples of steampunk contain alternative-history-style presentations of such technology as steam cannons, lighter-than-air airships, analogue computers, or such dig... read more
