Brockville is a hamlet in the town of Murray in Orleans County, New York, United States.[1] It is named after Heil Brockway, a native of Clinton in Middlesex County, Connecticut, United States.[2] The small settlement is located approximately .75 miles east of Hindsburg and was largely settled due to the opening of Medina Sandstone quarries in that vicinity.
