History of Buffalo
History of Buffalo
The region that would become Buffalo has been occupied for many centuries, most recently by the Erie, Neutral and Iroquois nations, and then the French and English, before it became a part of New York State. Buffalo was incorporated in 1832, after being selected as the terminus for the Erie canal. This made Buffalo the primary transshipment port between the Great lakes and the Atlantic Ocean. It then became the nation’s 2nd largest railroad hub and a massive center for steel production and general manufacturing. Of course, its economy today is much more diversified.
Things to do in Buffalo
Things to do in Buffalo
There are plenty of less highbrow things to do in Buffalo. Anyone seeking mobile homes in Buffalo could spend a day out at Frank Lloyd Wright’s martin house, explore the Buffalo & Erie County Naval and Military Park, enjoy the carnival atmosphere of Canalside in the summer, explore the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical gardens, or stroll the lovely Forest Lawn cemetery. If dining is more your speed, Buffalo was also named one of the "World's Top Ten Food Cities" by National geographic magazine in 2015.
Before buying a mobile home in Buffalo, think about its geographic location and climate, and what that would mean for you. Buffalo is at the head of the Niagara River, on the eastern end of Lake Erie. It is just south of Ontario, on the Canadian border. Most of the city is built on the Eastern Great Lakes Lowlands, which means it is very flat indeed. This location gives Buffalo a humid subtropical climate. However, the presence of an enormous lake creates heavy snow most winters. Buffalo gets dry, sunny summers with moderate humidity and generally comfortable temperatures. In fact, that same “Lake effect” keeps summer temperatures down and prevents the truly cold temperatures the city’s latitude would otherwise cause in winter. Before you buy land in New York, though, think about what kind of neighborhood you would most enjoy living in. Each of the following areas attracts different types of people, for instance. Buffalo Neighborhoods North Park, Buffalo The North Park neighborhood of Buffalo has around 3,000 residents. It offers plenty of amenities, like great public parks and an amazing casual dining scene. It offers both urban and suburban living situations, as well as a great deal of racial and cultural diversity. Anyone buying a mobile home in Buffalo would do well to look in North Park, especially young families, professionals and entrepreneurs. South Buffalo Some of the best manufactured and mobile homes in Buffalo, NY can be found in South Buffalo. It is beautifully suburban, and one of the most affordable neighborhoods in the city. It has a well-established nightlife scene, but not a wild one like some of the student-forward neighborhoods in the city. The annual Saint Patrick’s Day parade in South Buffalo is something everyone should see at least once. Black Rock, Buffalo The Black Rock neighborhood is a great place to buy a mobile home in Buffalo, as well. It is named for the peculiar black limestone of the Niagara River Valley. Black Rock is known for its low housing prices, and its mix of both urban and suburban housing situations. It is chock full of quaint eateries, museums, public art installations and parks, as well. Black Rock is also one of the city’s safest neighborhoods. Central Park, Buffalo This neighborhood shares little with the similarly named area in NYC. The Central Park neighborhood is a great place for buying a mobile home in Buffalo, for example. It does feature a very prominent park, but also the buffalo Zoo and a large number of small, local playgrounds and outdoor leisure areas. Central Park also has some of the best schools in the city. If you visit, don’t miss the famous Japanese Garden there. Allentown, Buffalo Allentown is quirky and bohemian, but in the best possible way. It is a very safe place to live with a low crime rate, so it is not surprising that Allentown is a first choice for anyone wanting to raise a family when they buy a mobile home in Buffalo, NY. However, its lively nightlife, many cafes and art galleries, and its trendy dining scene make Allentown just as popular with students and young, upwardly mobile professionals. It is also extremely LGBTQ-friendly, even by Buffalo’s already high standards.
