Overview of Erie County, New York
Erie County is a county located in the state of New York. As of 2000, the population is 950,265. The county seat is Buffalo. The county name comes from the name of a tribe of Indians living in Western New York State prior to 1654.
History
When counties were established in New York State in 1683, the present Erie County was part of Albany County. This was an enormous county, including the northern part of New York State as well as all of the present State of Vermont and, in theory, extending westward to the Pacific Ocean. This county was reduced in size on July 3, 1766 by the creation of Cumberland County, and further on March 16, 1770 by the creation of Gloucester County, both containing territory now in Vermont.
On March 12, 1772, what was left of Albany County was split into three parts, one remaining under the name Albany County. One of the other pieces, Tryon County, contained the western portion (and thus, since no western boundary was specified, theoretically still extended west to the Pacific). The eastern boundary of Tryon County was approximately five miles west of the present city of Schenectady, and the county included the western part of the Adirondack Mountains and the area west of the West Branch of the Delaware River. The area then designated as Tryon County now includes 37 counties of New York State. The county was named for William Tryon, colonial governor of New York.
In the years prior to 1776, most of the Loyalists in Tryon County fled to Canada. In 1784, following the peace treaty that ended the American Revolutionary War, the name of Tryon County was changed to Montgomery County to honor the general, Richard Montgomery, who had captured several places in Canada and died attempting to capture the city of Quebec, replacing the name of the hated British governor.
In 1789, Ontario County was split off from Montgomery. In turn, Genesee County was created from Ontario County in 1802, and Niagara County was created from Genesee County in 1808.
While Erie County was part of Ontario County, all of Erie County was in the Town of Montgomery of Ontario County. As part of Genesee County, all of Erie County was part of the Town of Batavia of Genesee County. Soon, for a time, Erie County was designated the now defunct Town of Erie.
Erie County was created from Niagara County in 1821. Prior to that time the area now within the county had been composed of the Town of Clarence and the Town of Willink, both of which had been created in Niagara County. Clarence was comprised of the northern lands of the current Erie county, and Willinck the southern part. Clarence still exists as a town, but Willink has been partitioned completely into other towns in the county. By 1821, both these towns had already begun subdividing to form the new towns of the county.
Geography
Erie County is in the extreme western portion of New York State, bordering on the lake of the same name.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 3,178 km² (1,227 mi²). 2,704 km² (1,044 mi²) of it is land and 473 km² (183 mi²) of it is water. The total area is 14.89% water.
