2018 marks the 200th anniversary of the town of Rush, NY — that’s quite an accomplishment! After all, there aren’t very many towns that can say they’ve been around for two centuries. But Rush isn’t alone in celebrating such significant milestones. Local company Miller Plumbing will soon reach 50 years in business — another big step. Here’s a closer look at the history of the town and the relationship this local plumbing contractor has forged with its community.

Rush, NY’s Bicentennial

Sometimes referred to as Southern Monroe County’s “best-kept secret,” Rush isn’t a major urban area. In fact, with its population hovering around 3,500 people, it hasn’t grown significantly since it was founded 200 years ago. 

However, this semi-rural community has a lot to offer. In addition to its blend of forest and open areas, it is convenient to Rochester. This provides access to shopping, entertainment, and more, while still allowing residents to enjoy a more laid-back, suburban lifestyle.

Miller Plumbing’s Major Milestone

The town of Rush is celebrating its big milestone this year, and in 2019, Miller Plumbing will reach 50 years in business. The plumbing company was founded by Rush resident John Miller in 1969 after apprenticing under his father-in-law and brother. 

When John and Gloria semi-retired, turning the reins over to daughter Sandi and son-in-law Pete Pulleyn and their nephew Gregg Miller. Pete and Gregg are now running the company with each having over 30 years of experience and the two have provided a wide range of plumbing services for the town ever since. Embracing Rush’s community-minded focus has led to great success over the years.
