BUFFALO INFORMATION

Located in the western part of the State of New York, Buffalo is the second largest city in the state. It is part of the Niagara Falls metropolitan area. The completion of the Erie Canal in 1825 led to the city's increase in population and its growth in the state. Buffalo has one of the snowiest winters of any city in the country. It is becoming known for its human genome and bioinformatics research, and is the headquarters to M&T Bank. The city is the home to two professional sports franchises, the NFL's Bills who play at Ralph Wilson Stadium who play in Orchard Park and the NHL's Buffalo Sabres who play at the HSBC Arena in downtown Buffalo. Orchard Park is located directly south of Buffalo.
