BUFFALO CREEK RESERVATION

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. It was owned by the Seneca Nation; however, the Treaty of Buffalo Creek dictated that the people of the Seneca Nation leave the tract in favor of the Cattaraugus Reservation, Oil Springs Reservation and Allegany Reservation.
