Buffalo, situated on the extreme western corner on the eastern shores of Lake Erie in New York State. The population is approximately 246,000 people, down from a high in 1950 Of 580,132. Buffalo was settled in 1789 as a small trading community and incorporated in 1832. The name of the city comes from the French and Indians who called the creek on which it sits, “Beau Fleuve.” In the war of 1812 Buffalo was burned to the ground by the British but roared back as an important destination due to its unique position close to Canada and the Great Lakes which positioned it perfectly as a gateway to the interior of the U.S.

During the middle 1800’s Buffalo was also an important stop on the “Underground Railroad” a means of conveying runaway slaves to Canada and freedom.

Buffalo had a dominant role in the US economy due to the easy shipping of agricultural and raw materials via the Great Lakes and Erie Canal to NYC. By the turn of the 20^th century, Buffalo was the 5^th largest and richest city in the U.S. Buffalo has always had a diverse manufacturing base but saw steep declines with the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway and large manufacturers moving operations to Mexico.

These days Buffalo is experiencing an economic renaissance largely due to a grassroots movement to claim the moral imperative for Buffalo’s future. Starting with small “Grassroots Gardens” where citizens planted gardens on empty lots where condemned buildings stood, the movement has swept the entire city in a frenzy of rediscovering a storied past as well as reclaiming architectural gems both in the neighborhoods and landmark buildings downtown. Within the past 10 years Buffalo has seen an unprecedented wave of investment as Buffalonians of means have come back to Buffalo and shared their wealth and expertise to help the city recover, as economies are big and different now a days with many online business where people make money and normal people can even go to casino sites like the true fortune casino to make some money as well.
