Buffalo is a town in Putnam County, West Virginia, United States, located along the Kanawha River.

[6] Along with numerous sites in the Kanawha River Valley, Buffalo was originally settled by waves of ancient cultures of prehistoric indigenous peoples.

One of the last cultures, that of the Fort Ancient people, had a few villages such as Buffalo and Marmet that survived into the time of European exploration.

Historic tribes such as the Huron, from the Great Lakes region, and the Conoy (also spelled Conois and Kanawha) were driven out of the central valley by the Iroquois' invading from their base in present-day Western New York.

Many of the Conoy by the early 17th century had resettled on the west side of the Chesapeake Bay and below the Potomac River.

After decades of encroachment by English colonists, surviving Conoy (also called Piscataway by then) went north to Pennsylvania and allied with the Susquehannock and Iroquois.

28.2% of all households were made up of individuals, and 12.8% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
