Buffalo Harbour

Buffalo, New York, 1870

Buffalo's main business by 1870 was the milling of grain. In this view, the lofty grain elevators can be seen close to the harbor where steamships transported the product to domestic and foreign ports.

For years Buffalo had struggled with its Niagara River neighbor Black Rock for trading surpremacy on the Great Lakes. Buffalo's location, a large work force and plenty of business capital had clearly given the Queen City the inside track at this moment in history.
