At Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys, we are proud to provide trusted, compassionate legal representation to the residents of Bowmansville, NY, a historic and tight-knit hamlet nestled within the town of Lancaster in Erie County. As part of our Buffalo-based service area, Bowmansville holds a special place in our commitment to offering personalized, results-driven support to injury victims throughout Western New York.
The hamlet of Bowmansville traces its roots back to the early 1800s, when pioneers like James and Asa Woodward settled in the area in 1803. With its beginnings steeped in industry, Bowmansville quickly developed into a productive center thanks to the construction of mills along Ellicott Creek. By 1810, Benjamin Bowman had purchased and expanded the local sawmill and gristmill operations, laying the foundation for what would become the hamlet’s namesake. For nearly 50 years, the Bowman family helped shape the identity of this industrious community.
Bowmansville also played a role in Western New York’s transportation history, with a train station on the West Shore Railroad, just off Maple Drive. Although the station is no longer active, it reflects the once-bustling role of the hamlet in connecting people and commerce throughout the region.
Geographically, Bowmansville sits at a strategic point in northwestern Lancaster, centered around the Genesee Street Bridge (NY Route 33) and Ellicott Creek. This location not only offers picturesque views, including a cataract waterfall through the hamlet’s heart, but also ensures excellent access to major thoroughfares. These include:
Interstate 90 (New York State Thruway) — An east-west tollway that runs just north of Bowmansville.
New York State Route 78 (Transit Road) — A major north-south artery forming the hamlet’s western border.
New York State Route 33 (Genesee Street) — The primary road running through Bowmansville, connecting residents to both Lancaster and Buffalo.
Its accessibility makes Bowmansville an ideal suburb for commuters while maintaining the charm and warmth of a small-town community.
Although Bowmansville may be modest in size, its community spirit is strong. Institutions like the Bowmansville Volunteer Fire Department, located at 36 Main Street, exemplify the dedication and neighborly support that define life here. Whether responding to emergencies or participating in local events, the department stands as a pillar of public service.
Residents of Bowmansville enjoy proximity to Buffalo, yet benefit from quieter surroundings, ample green spaces, and a unique sense of local pride. The natural beauty of Ellicott Creek and the accessibility to recreational activities make this area ideal for families and individuals alike.
