Nestled in the heart of Erie County, Sloan, NY is a small village with a rich industrial past, strong community spirit, and strategic location within the Buffalo–Niagara Falls Metropolitan Area. Though just one square mile in size, Sloan has played an outsized role in the region’s economic history, particularly through its ties to the railroad industry. At Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys, we are proud to provide dedicated legal support to the residents of Sloan from our Buffalo, NY location. Whether you're facing the aftermath of an accident or need guidance navigating a personal injury case, our team is here to fight for your rights and help you pursue the justice you deserve.
Sloan was incorporated in 1896 out of the town of Cheektowaga. Its strategic location made it a hub of rail activity, bordered by two major rail yards—CSX’s Frontier Yard to the north and Norfolk Southern’s Bison Yard to the south. These transportation corridors were once operated by the historic New York Central and Erie-Lackawanna railroads, making Sloan a critical link in the movement of goods and people across the Northeast.
Like many villages shaped by the railroads, Sloan developed a tightly knit community of working-class families. With a strong local identity, the village even maintained its own police department for much of the 20th century, until the late 1970s when policing was transitioned to the Cheektowaga Police Department.
At Sullivan Brill, we understand the hardworking nature of Sloan’s residents. Many of our clients have roots in industrial trades or transportation careers, and we are deeply committed to protecting the rights of injured workers, pedestrians, and motorists in and around Sloan.
Sloan is ideally located just southeast of downtown Buffalo, with easy access to major roadways such as NY State Route 130 (Broadway) and NY State Route 240 (Harlem Road). Though small in area—only 0.8 square miles—Sloan’s proximity to the New York State Thruway and its inclusion in the broader metropolitan area makes it a well-connected suburb.

According to the U.S. Census, Sloan's population has seen significant shifts over the past century. From 873 residents in 1900, the village grew steadily through the mid-20th century, peaking at over 5,800 residents in 1960. Like many communities in the Rust Belt, however, Sloan experienced a population decline in the decades that followed, a trend accelerated by deindustrialization and economic changes throughout Western New York.
Despite a population of just under 3,800 as of the 2020 census, Sloan remains a vibrant village known for its sense of community and affordability. With a median age of 42 and a mix of families, retirees, and young professionals, the community features a diverse range of needs when it comes to legal services.
At Sullivan Brill, we understand the socioeconomic challenges that many residents face. With a median household income of around $29,000, access to quality legal representation can be a significant concern. That’s why we offer free consultations and work on a contingency fee basis—meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case.
