Lake View, New York

It is bounded by Eighteen Mile Creek on the south, Pleasant Avenue on the north, Lake Erie on the west and the village of Hamburg on the east.

Early settlers were Ebenezer Ames, Jacob F. Schoellkopf, a successful entrepreneur in western New York,[1] and Ebenezer Walden, a prominent Buffalo attorney and mayor whose family built the Lake View Hotel in 1880 to serve the many traveling salesmen who arrived on the seven daily trains on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway (later part of New York Central Railroad) to sell their wares in the surrounding countryside.

[2] The salesmen (called "drummers") would rent a horse and buggy from the livery stable behind the six-room hotel to make their rounds.

In the late 1950s, the Lake View Community Association produced a cookbook called "The ABC's of Cooking"[11] which contained many favorite recipes from the town's residents.

Lake View, NY is also the Official home of the 6 time World Champion Moose Jaw Rockies of the Preston Ridlehuber Football League (P.R.F.L.)
