Buffalo, New York - definition of Buffalo, New York in Encyclopedia (1819 words)
In the early 20th century Buffalo was one of the world's busiest inland ports, but its economic fortunes began to diminish at midcentury with the completion of the Saint Lawrence Seaway project and the decline of the American steel industry.
Most of western New York was granted by Charles II of England to the Duke of York, but the first European settlement in what is now Erie County was by the French, at the mouth of Buffalo Creek in 1758.
Buffalo was rebuilt and incorporated as a town in 1816.
