| | USS Buffalo (SSN 715) |
 | | In 1917, the USS BUFFALO transported a special United States diplomatic mission to Russia and upon her return was converted to serve as a destroyer tender. |
 | | Buffalo Creek, Lake Erie, Buffalo Harbor, the Niagara River, and the Erie Canal all influenced the city’s development as an international trade center. |
 | | Among the first in Buffalo’s heritage are the windshield wiper, the grain elevator, parachutes, the cardiac pacemaker, soft contact lenses, the motorcycle, and, of course, "Buffalo wings." The City of Buffalo has grown from a frontier town to a mature metropolis rich with history and culture. |
