At Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys, we are honored to serve the residents of West Seneca, New York, a vibrant and historic town nestled in Erie County and part of the greater Buffalo metropolitan area. With deep roots in the community and a commitment to justice, our Buffalo-based law firm provides dedicated, compassionate personal injury representation to individuals and families throughout West Seneca and its surrounding neighborhoods.
West Seneca is a bustling town with a population of approximately 45,500 as of the 2020 Census, making it one of Erie County’s most populous and well-established suburbs. Located just southeast of the City of Buffalo, West Seneca is centrally positioned among the “Southtowns” — a cluster of middle-class suburban towns that include Orchard Park and Hamburg. This location offers residents easy access to Buffalo’s urban amenities while maintaining the comfort and charm of suburban living.
The town’s history is deeply connected to the land it occupies, which was once part of the Buffalo Creek Reservation. White settlement did not begin until the mid-19th century, and the town was officially formed in 1851, originally named Seneca before changing to West Seneca in 1852 to avoid confusion with another New York town.
West Seneca’s rich heritage includes historic sites such as the Eaton Site and the Community of True Inspiration Residence, both listed on the National Register of Historic Places. These sites reflect the town’s unique cultural and communal past, tracing back to German Lutheran settlers known as the Ebenezer Society.
West Seneca covers over 21 square miles, with scenic waterways like Cazenovia Creek and the Buffalo River running through the town, enhancing its natural beauty. It is bordered by a variety of communities, including the City of Buffalo to the northwest, Lackawanna to the west, and Orchard Park to the south.
The town boasts excellent transportation infrastructure, with major highways such as:
Interstate 90 (New York State Thruway)
U.S. Route 219 (Southern Expressway)
New York State Routes 16, 78, 240, 277, and 354
These routes make commuting and travel convenient for residents and connect West Seneca with the broader Buffalo-Niagara region.
West Seneca is home to a diverse community, with 19,151 households and a population that reflects a mix of ages and backgrounds. The median age is 41 years, and the town features a healthy balance of families, individuals, and seniors. The majority of households are married couples, and a significant portion of the population is over the age of 65, underscoring the importance of access to quality healthcare and support services.
Economically, West Seneca maintains a stable middle-class environment, with a median household income of approximately $46,278 and a family median income of around $54,179. The town’s residents value community, safety, and quality of life—principles that guide both local leaders and businesses alike.
West Seneca is proud to offer cultural and recreational opportunities that enrich the lives of its residents. The Charles E. Burchfield Nature & Art Center is a prominent local attraction, combining natural beauty with artistic expression across its 29-acre complex. Featuring gardens, playgrounds, trails, and an outdoor amphitheater along Buffalo Creek, it serves as a hub for community events and nature education.
Sports enthusiasts enjoy the XGen Elite Sports Complex, home to the Buffalo eXtreme basketball team, while longtime establishments like Schwabl’s Restaurant provide a taste of local heritage, famous for its beef on weck sandwich and featured on Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations.
Education is a cornerstone of the community, with three main public school districts serving the area: West Seneca Central School District, Orchard Park Central School District, and Cheektowaga-Sloan Union Free School District. In addition, several private schools provide families with faith-based educational options.
Despite the town’s peaceful and family-friendly environment, accidents and injuries do occur.
