Daylight Saving Time Eastern Daylight Saving Time (UTC-4) Trade Development 1758 French fur traders set up fur trading posts here, and whites began to settle here. The Dutch built the city here in 1790, and it was formally established in 1803. 1825 The Erie Canal was opened, which became the intersection of the Lake District and the Erie Canal, and Buffalo gradually prospered. After the opening of 1959, saint lawrence seaway has further developed into a world port (also a land and air transportation hub). The waterfront is 37 miles long and there are many huge warehouses along the coast. It is the main transshipment port of wheat in the United States and Canada, and is also a world-famous flour industry center. It has always been the export place of Mesabi iron mine, and heavy industries such as steel, smelting, automobile and machinery are very developed. The industrial zone is mainly located on the east bank of Niagara River and the south bank of Lake Erie. Buffalo is the gateway from the Atlantic coast to the western inland. There are six railway trunk lines, which are the railway freight centers between the United States and Canada. The road network is dense, including expressway in new york and expressway in Kensington. There is a modern international airport in the east of the city. Buffalo, the hometown of the president, is very famous in American history. It is the hometown of two presidents (Mi Leide Feynman and Grover Cleveland). 190 1 year, President McKinley came to Buffalo to visit the Pan-American World Expo. During his speech, an assassin shot at him and died of his injuries a few days later. Now there is a presidential monument in Niagara Square in the city center. After McKinley's death, Vice President theodore roosevelt, who came in a hurry, was sworn in as president at Wilcock House here. This mansion has been listed as a national monument to be protected and opened to tourists. Buffalo is a big city rising in modern times. According to the planning and design of Washington, D.C., nine main streets extend outward in a spoke shape from the central city, and the city is developed according to the benefits of rivers and lakes. Marina Midland Center Building is 40 stories high and stands by the lake. It is the tallest building in this city. The Peace Bridge across niagara river is beautiful in appearance and connected with Fort Erie. Albright Knox Art Gallery is the first place in this city. It is a magnificent neoclassical building with a large collection of sculptures and contemporary oil paintings, including the works of world-class masters such as Picasso and Rodin. There are many parks in the city. The largest Delaware Park covers an area of 365 acres. Buffalo Zoo is also famous. The city is full of trees and the environment is quiet and pleasant. From the plane, Buffalo looks like a forest city. Museums in the city and Buffalo Science Museum in Humebolt Park mainly display local geology, animals and plants and related cultural relics. However, when tourists come to Buffalo, what they are most eager for is not to visit the city, but to see the natural wonders at Niagara Falls, 30 kilometers northwest of the city. Robert Moses and Adam Baker Hydropower Station, saint lawrence seaway, Welland Canal Sluice, Aquarium and Niagara Fort are also places that tourists don't want to miss. Lake Erie, niagara river and its adjacent waters are rich in perch, sturgeon and pike, which are good places for fishing. In a word, the huge energy provided by tourism and waterfalls has effectively promoted the prosperity and development of the vast area of Buffalo. The historical port 180 1 opened, originally named Lake Erie, later changed to Buffalo Creek, and finally referred to as Buffalo. At first, the word was a beautiful river in French, and later it was named buffalo after its sound. Buffalo originally refers to Asian buffalo or African buffalo, and here refers to American bison. It used to be one of the terminals of the underground railway. Established in 185 1. In the19th century, Mildred fillmore was a permanent resident and the first president of the University of Buffalo (now new york State University of Buffalo). Grover Cleveland lived locally from 1854 to 1882, and served as mayor from 1882 to 1883. William mckinley was assassinated at the Pan-American Expo on September 6th, 190 1, and died eight days later. Theodore roosevelt, Vice President, was sworn in at the willcocks Building (now the National Historical Site where Roosevelt took office). Naval Park near Lake Buffalo-The warship benefited from the power plant of Niagara Falls and became the first large-scale power supply city in North America, so it was nicknamed "City of Light". In the early 20th century, because of its location at the intersection of the Great Lakes and the Erie Canal, it attracted people from Ireland, Italy, Germany and Poland to work in the steel and flour industries. Due to population migration (the outflow is 50% of the peak population, and the population of metropolitan areas with a small population exceeding 1 10,000 is decreasing) and the opening of the St. Lawrence waterway, the city has declined in the past half century. In 1990s, after Buffalo Bills, the local American football team, lost in the Super Bowl for four consecutive years, some newspapers blamed it on "McGinley's curse" and explained that Buffalo Sabers had never won the league championship. But this myth cannot explain the prosperity at the beginning of this century and the outstanding achievements of Washington and Dallas where presidential assassinations took place. Today, Buffalo is abandoning its image as an industrial city and repositioning itself as a cultural, educational and medical center. In 2005, it was selected as the third cleanest city in America by Reader's Digest. 200 1 was selected as "the friendliest city in America" by USA-Today. Won 1996 and 2002 National City Award. Buffalo has the reputation of "the best planned city in the United States", thanks to the cooperation of many world-renowned architects and planners in Qi Xin. Homs Tell, who designed Central Park, devoted himself to creating a perfect park system for Buffalo, which has been preserved to this day. Buffalo was in its heyday from 1940s to 1950s, and even many buildings in new york were built after Buffalo. In 2005, the first African-American mayor was elected. Natural climate Buffalo is famous for its bad weather, but it is not. Among all the major cities in northeast China, Buffalo is the driest and sunniest. Of course, the rainfall is still enough to keep the plants green and lush, which makes the weather in late summer quite humid. Many residents installed air conditioners and dug swimming pools, which surprised travelers who thought there was only ice and snow there. The winter in the local area is indeed longer than that in other areas, and under the influence of the Great Lakes effect, the average snowfall is more than that in most northern cities, but there are also many mild days in the middle. Ski resorts in the southern suburbs of the city are twice as many as those in the snowy urban areas, and they are the best winter resorts in Northeast China. The reason for the occasional snowstorm in Buffalo in winter is that the cold wind blows to the warm water of Lake Erie. The formed snow belt is only 16-24 km wide. Somewhere, the sky is clear in Wan Li, but two or three kilometers away, white snow flowers are flying from the lake. Because Lake Erie is shallower than the other four lakes, some lakes will freeze in winter, and then the snow will stop. The most famous snowstorm in history may be the one in 1977, and around Christmas in 20001and 5438+0 in 2006. Buffalo competes with other big cities in northern new york for the "Golden Snowball Award" every year. A fact ignored by the media is that buffaloes also benefit from the supervision of Lake Erie. The cool southwest wind relieves the hottest weather, so summer is very pleasant. According to official meteorological records, only three cities in the United States have never recorded temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, one of which is Buffalo (ironically, the other two are Miami and Honolulu). It is also a big city with the largest number of private swimming pools per capita in the United States. All kinds of water activities are very popular, and the conditions for fishing are unique, because it has the richest freshwater fish resources in the United States (niagara river, Lake Erie and various tributaries can fish, including glass bass, yellow bass, large and small mouth bass, trout, northern pike, North American pike and imported salmon). Buffalo, the "Waterfall City", has the same population composition as other old industrial cities in the Great Lakes region. Buffalo has experienced population decline and urban decline for half a century due to the closure of factories, the decline of canal traffic and suburbanization. The urban population reached its peak in 1950, when it was the fifth largest city in the United States with a population of 580,000. Since then, its population began to decline, especially in the 1970s, when the population of this city decreased by 22.7%. According to the American demographic data of 20 10, the populations of buffaloes are 26 1 and 3 10, which are only slightly higher than the level of 1890 and have experienced a period of nearly 120. According to the population statistics in 20 10, there were only more than 260,000 people in downtown Buffalo, and the estimate in 20 13 showed a further decline, reaching 258,959 people. The population density is 2565.8 people per square kilometer. According to the census of 20 10, whites account for 50.4% (non-Hispanic whites account for 45.8%), Africans account for 38.6%, Asians account for 3.2%, Indians account for 0.8%, other races account for 3.9%, mixed-race accounts for 3. 1%, and Hispanics (possibly belonging to any of the above races). In 2000, according to their ancestral nationalities, the five major ethnic groups were German (13.6%), Irish (12.2%), Italian (1/0.7%) and Polish (1655). Of the 20,000 households in the city, 28.6% have minors under 1.8, 27.6% are married couples, 22.3% are single women, and 45.4% are single residents without families. 37.7% of the households are individuals living together, 12. 1% are empty-nesters over 65 years old.

In addition, there are more Indians in Niagara Falls, and most of them work in local big casinos. At SUNY Buffalo, there are about 1000 Indian students, 1000 China students, about 500 Korean students and about 200 to 300 Japanese students. Industrial background Buffalo and its surrounding areas have long been engaged in commercial railways, steel industry, automobile manufacturing, Great Lakes shipping and magnificent city hall grain storage, but most of these industries have now disappeared. The major steel-making giants are no longer in this area, but only the management departments of some small steel mills, such as Gibraltar Industrial Company, which used to be the main manufacturing, processing and transportation enterprise of steel for construction, industry and automobile, and its headquarters is still in Buffalo. The collapse of Buffalo's industrial chain is part of the decline of the old Great Lakes industrial base in the United States (commonly known as the "rust belt"). Other cities with similar situations include Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Youngstown, all of which must make adjustments to improve their economic situation. Unlike the economic situation in Pittsburgh after adjustment, Buffalo, like Cleveland, has been in a downturn since the middle of last century, and still faces a long-term economic recession and population decline. In addition, Ford Motor Company has retained a stamping factory in the south of Buffalo. Chevrolet also has two factories, one near Tonawanda in the north of Buffalo, and the other is a tool and steel mold factory in the city center. Car wipers were invented in Buffalo, and a small company called Trico is still making them locally. All these industries are the foundation of Buffalo's prosperity. At that time, Buffalo was also the second largest railway hub in the United States after Chicago. The economic situation has entered 2 1 century, and Buffalo is in a state of high unemployment. Generally speaking, with the migration and decrease of population, the employment rate in Buffalo continues to deteriorate. In 2005, the unemployment rate was as high as 6.6%, which was 3.2% higher than the average of 5.0% in New York State. From the fourth quarter of 2005 to the fourth quarter of 2006, Buffalo did not have any new employment opportunities, ranking 27 1 among the 326 largest counties in the United States. In the past two years, with the increase of new employment opportunities, the unemployment rate has improved, from 6.6% in 2005 and 5.2% in 2006 to 4.9% in July 2007. The continuous reduction of employment opportunities in industrial enterprises is the second largest reason for the reduction of employment opportunities. At the beginning of 2006, compared with 2005, there was a net decrease of17,000 jobs. On the other hand, other industrial sectors performed well and made great progress. In 2006 alone, more than 30,000 new jobs were created in the fields of education and medical care, and more than 20,000 new jobs were concentrated in high-tech and commercial (financial) fields. In 2009, according to the data of the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the U.S. Department of Commerce, its urban gdp ranked 36th in the United States, "Buffalo-Niagara Falls, NYMSA 1,164,721.36". Biotechnology has entered the 265,438+0 century, and Buffalo has become the research center of bioinformatics and human genes, including the participation of researchers from the State University of New York at Buffalo and Roseveare Park Cancer Research Center. The branch is also committed to developing buildings with earthquake resistance. M& banks in Buffalo include HSBC, Bank of America, M& Bank, key banks and citizen banks. HSBC is the largest local bank, followed by M & amp； T (the main business of local commercial banks is in the west of New York), and there is no Citibank in the local area. Buffalo used to be the North American headquarters of HSBC. The global headquarters of HSBC moved from Hong Kong to London in 1997 after the handover of Hong Kong's sovereignty, and subsequently acquired Marine Midland Bank, a big American bank at that time, and designated the 40-story Haifeng Bank Building in Buffalo as the headquarters of HSBC in the United States and named it "One HSBC Tower". The main reason why HSBC doesn't set its headquarters in new york is that it is an important hub of new york and Toronto, and of course, the high housing prices in new york. Later, on 1999, it acquired the People's Bank of new york and moved its headquarters to new york.
