Bowmansville is a hamlet located in the town of Lancaster in Erie County, New York, United States.

[3] Bowmansville is in the northwest corner of the town and is centered on the Genesee Street Bridge (NY Route 33) over a cataract in Ellicott Creek.

Downstream from Bowmansville, in the town of Cheektowaga, bordered by Ellicott Creek, is the Pfohl Brothers Landfill, a Superfund site.

In 1808 a road was cut from Buffalo through Lancaster village eastward, and in the same year Daniel Robinson built the first sawmill in town at Bowmansville.

Bowmansville also had a train station for the West Shore Railroad, just off Maple Drive north of the hamlet.
