Until the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, Buffalo was a sleepy
town. Access to an abundant supply of fresh water led to a thriving
farming industry, provided a means of transportation, and powered
mills and factories. Adding to the hustle and bustle of the city's
busy new harbor was Joseph Dart's local invention of the grain
elevator. Buffalo's location on Lake Erie, and its growth during
the second industrial revolution, helped the city become the eighth
largest in America and established it as the Queen City. It has
been home to future presidents and inventors who have influenced
millions. The city's original radial street design, the layout of
its parks, and its majestic architecture make Buffalo fascinating
and unique.
