The story of Buffalo is one of quiet persistence, a narrative etched not in grand monuments but in the steady hum of agricultural life. This land, once home to ancient forests and prairie grasses, was settled by those seeking to cultivate its bounty, and that spirit of husbandry remains the bedrock of Buffalo's economy. The surrounding farms, many passed down through families, are the true arteries of this place, their harvests feeding not just local tables but distant markets.
