| | Buffalo Township |
 | | Buffalo township was first settled by Captain Benjamin W. Clark in December, 1833, and the first town, that of Buffalo, named in honor of Buffalo, N.Y. was laid out in 1826 at the time of the Incorporation of Davenport. |
 | | The village of Buffalo, which like the township, is named after Buffalo, N.Y., and not from the noble American bison, was originally laid out two years before the incorporation of the city of Davenport in 1836. |
 | | All went smoothly with the village of Buffalo and its inhabitants until the county liens were formed, which placed the new town so close to the Muscatine county boundary line that its prospects for the county seat were ruined. |
