History

Originally part of the Buffalo Creek Reservation, the area was not open to settlement until 1842 when the land was sold by the Seneca Indians. In 1851 the town of Seneca was formed (changed to West Seneca in 1852) with the area now known as Lackawanna being called West Seneca or Limestone Hill. In 1909 the residents of the area voted to split off from West Seneca and the City of Lackawanna was formed.^[3] The Buffalo Creek Reservation is a tract of land south of the Buffalo Creek in the southern portion of Erie County, New York that contained approximately 49,920 acres and was set aside for the Indians and named the Buffalo Creek Reservation. ...

Lackawanna was a center of steel manufacture throughout most of the 20th Century. In 1899 all the land along the West Seneca shore of Lake Erie was purchased by the Lackawanna Steel Company. Construction was started in 1900 and the plant began operation in 1903. The Lackawanna Steel Company was acquired by the Bethlehem Steel Company in 1922. With the 20th century growth of the Bethlehem Steel plant, at one time the fourth largest in the world, came the continued growth of the city and its institutions. At its peak the plant employed 20,000 people. It attracted people from many lands to settle here and make their homes. However, the latter half of the 20th century saw the decline of the steel plant and finally its closure.^[4] For other uses, see Steel (disambiguation). ...

In recent years, efforts have been made to convert the former steel plant brownfields to other uses. The site does have a diversity of tenants, some occupy buildings remaining from the former steel plant and a few in newer buildings. These efforts have been opposed by many sectors, as the alleged contamination of the field has been said by some to have caused cancer and other medical issues. EPA reports are still ongoing and contested.^[5] Wind Power Generators (Windmills) were built on the former Bethlehem Steel property in 2007.

Our Lady of Victory Basilica, located in Lackawanna, is a National Shrine. Next to Our Lady of Victory (OLV) Basilica is Holy Cross Cemetery. It has been a parish cemetery since 1849, although there are burials dating back to 1830. Father Nelson Baker was responsible for the building of working boy's home (protectory)in 1898. He also supervised construction of an infants home in 1907, a maternity home in 1915, Our Lady of Victory Hospital in 1919, and the Basilica of Our Lady of Victory in 1926. Father Baker named the Basilica after the famous shrine of Notre Dame des Victoires in Paris, France, which he had visited as a seminarian in 1874. He was in charge of the Basilica and the various institutions of charity until his death at the age of 94, on July 29, 1936.

Father Baker's legacy continues to this day in many ways. His social programs have evolved into Baker Victory Services, which provide care to more than 2,500 children each day. Our Lady of Victoy Hospital (although closed in 1999) is currently being converted into a senior housing facility.^[11][12] The Homes of Charity provide the critical funds necessary to continue his social programs through donations, and Our Lady of Victory Basilica enjoyed its 75th Anniversary in 2001. In addition, the Catholic Church named Father Baker "Servant of God" in 1987, the first step towards declaring him a saint. In 1999, Father Nelson Baker's remains were moved from Holy Cross Cemetery and re-interred inside the basilica. This was a recommended step for his canonization process. Currently, his cause for canonization is under review by Vatican officials in the hopes of beatifying the humble priest in the very near future.^[13][14] Servant of God is the title given to a person of the Roman Catholic Church upon whom a pope has opened a cause of sainthood. ...
