Flushing is in
Genesee County, and in the
Central Region (part of the

As a lumber town, Flushing was first settled in 1836 when Charles Seymour, the first resident, and Horace Jerome partnered to build a sawmill here. It received a post office in 1839.
Flushing has many well-preserved turn-of-the-century style buildings as well as a Victorian style train depot across the river. There are many unique shops on the main street with a scenic river walk on the south side of the bridge.
