Fact text
- Schwabl's restaurant has been serving beef on weck in West Seneca since 1837, and even scored a spot on Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations in 2009.
- The name 'West Seneca' only exists because there was already a Seneca in Ontario County, the town literally renamed itself in 1852 to avoid postal confusion.
- A communal group called the Ebenezer Society settled the hamlet of Ebenezer in 1843, then mostly packed up and moved to Iowa by 1863, leaving the name behind.
- The city of Buffalo gets its name from Buffalo Creek, a stream that actually flows through West Seneca before becoming the Buffalo River.
