West Seneca

Town in Erie County, west New York; population (1990) 47,800. It is located to the southeast of Buffalo, on Buffalo and Cazenovia creeks. It is an agricultural community, specializing in nursery, greenhouse, and truck farming. It is also one of Buffalo's larger residential suburbs.

Initially part of a Seneca reservation, the site was purchased and settled in 1842 by the Ebenezer Society, a German religious group who later moved to Iowa. The town was laid out as Seneca in 1851, taking its present name to avoid confusion with a town farther east the following year.
