Buffalo: Rust Belt City on the Niagara Frontier
Buffalo sits at the eastern end of Lake Erie where the Niagara River begins its 36-mile run to the falls. The city had roughly 276,000 residents at the most recent census and serves as the seat of Erie County. Its location at the western terminus of the Erie Canal made it a critical transshipment point in the 19th century, when grain from the Midwest was transferred from lake steamers to canal boats bound for New York harbor.
Steel production defined the regional economy for much of the 20th century. Bethlehem Steel operated a massive plant in Lackawanna just south of the city from 1902 until its closure in 1983. The loss of the steel industry, along with declines in grain handling and other manufacturing, cut Buffalo's population roughly in half from its 1950 peak of 580,000.
Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Martin House Complex in the city's Parkside neighborhood between 1903 and 1905. The complex is open as a museum. Downtown holds the Guaranty Building, an early Louis Sullivan skyscraper completed in 1896, along with City Hall, a 1931 art deco tower that remains one of the largest municipal buildings in the United States. The Buffalo Bills play in Orchard Park, and the Sabres hockey team plays downtown at KeyBank Center. Canalside, the redeveloped area at the former western terminus of the Erie Canal, hosts concerts, skating, and a reconstructed canal basin.
