BuffaloHistory is a mailing list intended for discussion of the history of
the City of Buffalo, New York.

Buffalo is a city with a wealth of history. From the early French settlement
of Joncaire, the burning of the village by the British during the War of
1812, and the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, Buffalo's history rolls
forward like a richly woven tapestry.

Despite the vital role that it played in the opening of the west and in the
settlement of the country, Buffalo's history is often under-appreciated and
neglected, and frequently buried beneath a veneer of surface parking lots,
industrial decay and big box drugstores.

Discussion and announcements regarding local history, genealogy, historic
preservation, research, libraries, archives, etc. related specifically to
the City of Buffalo, New York are appropriate to this list.
