About the Town of Tonawanda
Tonawanda is a prime, somewhat remote township in the northwestern tip of Eerie County; geographically speaking, the city is bordered on the east by Amherst, on the west by Niagara River, on the north by the river and county of Niagara, and on the south by Buffalo. The Erie and Neuter Indians, the early inhabitants, appropriately named the town “Tonawanda” meaning “swift waters” in local dialect perhaps in admiration for Niagara potent currents.
Geography
As mentioned above, Tonawanda is surrounded by Amherst, Niagara River and Buffalo, hemming in an enormous track of about 12500 acres of lush green, fertile land. According to Holland Company’s survey records, the town comprises township 12, range 8 and a teensy bit of a mile strip along Niagara River, of which lies in the State Reservation. The general topography is level. The soil is loam-clayey within the strip along the river and sandy-loam inland. Rightfully so, arable patches, particularly in the central and northwestern, are dedicated towards agriculture; green garden trucks generate bountiful produce for Buffalo market.
History
By 1600, the region on which the town sits had been toured by French missionaries; traders of assorted merchandise, military dignitaries, and British colonies soon followed suit. Funny enough, the then village of Tonawanda (including Buffalo) was razed down during the War of 1812.
It was not until April 16, 1836, that the Town of Towanda was founded, and has since flourished as a premier agricultural and business center. Among the pioneers include John Hershey, Alexander Logan, and John King, who settled in 1805 on the southeast tip of Tonawanda. Many others trooped to Tonawanda in a bid to benefit from the construction of Eerie Canal.
Of a considerable historical importance are the first town meeting held in spring 1837; the chiming of the first steam rail in 1836; and the earnest construction of the harbor in 1849.
Demography
The census of 2010 projected that Tonawanda (including the village of Kenmore) had 73567 people protracting a population density of 4252 people per square mile; further breakdown indicates that 47% and 53% were male and female respectively. The median age of the town stood at the staggering 45.7 years.
The racial composition of the population was: 93.1% White, 3.0% Black or African-American, 2.7% Hispanic or Latino, 0.4% American Indian, 1.3% Asian, 0.02% Pacific Islander, 0.6% from other races, and 1.6% from two or more races.
Of the 32,951 reported households, 43.1% were married couples; median household income was $48624, average unit house price was $151092, and median gross rent was $629.
