Perrysburg is a town in Cattaraugus County, New York, United States.

[2] The town is named after Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry and is located in the northwest corner of the county.

Eventually, likely at the behest of the United States Board on Geographic Names during the Benjamin Harrison administration in the 1890s, the spelling became "Perrysburg."

[3] The northern border is Cattaraugus Creek with Erie County on the opposite bank.

The town's geographic location results in frequent and heavy lake-effect snow events during the fall and winter.

A hill rising to over 1,600 feet (490 m) on the southern edge of the town contributes to orographic enhancement, intensifying snowfall.

The northern border is formed with the Cattaraugus Reservation and the town of Brant in Erie County.
