City History

Buffalo was first platted in 1856 and had a rather slow and difficult beginning. Though many of the first claims to land were abandoned, the village rebounded in the late 1890ā€™s. The lakes provided a summer destination for many residents of the Twin Cities, as well as providing a source of income for some settlers. Over time, though there have been some flooding issues - which caused setbacks for lakeside resorts, Buffalo grew into an exceptional city. The level of city services provided and the excellent economic environment offers residents with a fantastic place to live.
