Buffalo, New York
Buffalo () is a city in Western New York and the seat of Erie County, located on the eastern shores of Lake Erie at the head of the Niagara River. As of 2014, Buffalo is the second most populous city in the state after New York City with 258,703 residents, and the metropolitan area is the 45th largest in the United States.
Buffalo experienced significant growth in the 19th and 20th centuries as a direct result of the Erie Canal, railroads and Lake Erie, providing an abundance of fresh water and an ample trade route to the Midwestern United States, while grooming its economy for the grain, steel and automobile industries during the 20th century. Since experiencing an economic downturn in the latter half of the 20th century, Buffalo's economy has transitioned to sectors that include financial services, technology, biomedical and education.
Residents of Buffalo are called "Buffalonians". Nicknames for the city of Buffalo include "The Queen City", "The Nickel City", "The City of Good Neighbors", and less commonly, the "City of Light".
== Etymology ==
The city of Buffalo received its name from a nearby creek called Buffalo Creek. British military engineer Captain John Montresor made reference to 'Buffalo Creek' in his journal of 1764, which may be the earliest recorded appearance of the name. There are several theories regarding how Buffalo Creek received its name.〔(You asked us: The 868–3900 line to your desk at the Star: How Buffalo got its name ), ''Toronto Star'', Toronto, Ontario, Canada: Toronto Star, September 24, 1992, Stefaniuk, W., Retrieved April 23, 2014.〕〔(Worldly setting, sophisticated choices, atmosphere at Beau Fleuve ), ''Buffalo News'', Buffalo, NY: Berkshire Hathaway, March 19, 1993, Okun, J., Retrieved April 23, 2014.〕〔('Beau Fleuve' story doesn't wash ), ''Buffalo News'', Buffalo, NY: Berkshire Hathaway, July 21, 2003, Retrieved April 23, 2014.〕 While it is possible that Buffalo Creek's name originated from French fur traders and Native Americans calling the creek ''Beau Fleuve'' (French for "Beautiful River"),〔〔 it is also possible that Buffalo Creek was named for the American bison, whose historical range may have extended into Western New York.〔
