Winters are long and cold, often lasting from around mid-November to early April. There are often snows before and after that period, as well. Western New York is known for its <a href="/wiki/Lake-effect_snow" title="Lake-effect snow">lake effect</a> snows, which can result in highly localized, sometimes intense and even historic snow events. Lake effect storms are a result of cold air picking up water vapor as it blows over warm lake waters. Lake effect snows are usually most active between November and February and typically diminish when Lake Erie freezes over. Generally, the heaviest amount of snow in Western New York during the winter falls near the southern end of Erie County as well as in Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, and Wyoming counties. Spring and fall in Western New York are usually short and changeable. The presence of the lakes allows for fruit growing and wine production along areas adjacent to both lakes, which retard the development of damaging spring and fall frost, thereby extending the growing season. Lost in its famed winters, Western New York summers are among the sunniest in the Northeast<span class="flagicon"><span class="mw-image-border" typeof="mw:File"><span><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d9/Flag_of_Canada_%28Pantone%29.svg/23px-Flag_of_Canada_%28Pantone%29.svg.png" decoding="async" width="23" height="12" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d9/Flag_of_Canada_%28Pantone%29.svg/35px-Flag_of_Canada_%28Pantone%29.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d9/Flag_of_Canada_%28Pantone%29.svg/46px-Flag_of_Canada_%28Pantone%29.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="1200" data-file-height="600" /></span></span> </span><a href="/wiki/Canada" title="Canada">Canada</a> and are generally very pleasant.

The Neutral territory is currently held by <a href="/wiki/Tuscarora_(tribe)" class="mw-redirect" title="Tuscarora (tribe)">Tuscaroras</a>, who moved up from <a href="/wiki/The_Carolinas" class="mw-redirect" title="The Carolinas">the Carolinas</a> while refugees from the Erie tribes moved south to the Carolinas. </p><p>French forces settled in parts of what is now Western New York through much of the 17th century, beginning with <a href="/wiki/%C3%89tienne_Br%C3%BBl%C3%A9" title="Étienne Brûlé">Étienne Brûlé</a>'s pass-through of the region in 1615 and <a href="/wiki/Joseph_de_La_Roche_Daillon" title="Joseph de La Roche Daillon">Joseph de La Roche Daillon</a>'s missionary journeys in the 1620s; some relics of their presence, including <a href="/wiki/Fort_Niagara" title="Fort Niagara">Fort Niagara</a> and a <a href="/wiki/Old_Portage_Road" title="Old Portage Road">portage road</a> that follows modern <a href="/wiki/New_York_State_Route_394" title="New York State Route 394">New York State Route 394</a> between <a href="/wiki/Lake_Erie" title="Lake Erie">Lake Erie</a> and <a href="/wiki/Chautauqua_Lake" title="Chautauqua Lake">Chautauqua Lake</a>, are still visible in the region. </p><p>Western New York's land was acquired from the Iroquois through the <a href="/wiki/Nanfan_Treaty" title="Nanfan Treaty">Nanfan Treaty</a>, which ceded the territory to England at the end of the Beaver Wars in 1701. At the time, four of the British colonies (<a href="/wiki/Pennsylvania_Colony" class="mw-redirect" title="Pennsylvania Colony">Pennsylvania</a>, <a href="/wiki/New_York_Colony" class="mw-redirect" title="New York Colony">New York</a>, <a href="/wiki/Massachusetts_Bay_Colony" title="Massachusetts Bay Colony">Massachusetts</a> and <a href="/wiki/Connecticut_Colony" title="Connecticut Colony">Connecticut</a>) laid claim to the unsettled territory, as did <a href="/wiki/New_France" title="New France">New France</a> until the <a href="/wiki/Seven_Years%27_War" title="Seven Years' War">Seven Years' War</a>. Most of Western New York was officially off-limits to all of the colonies as a result of the establishment of an <a href="/wiki/Indian_Reserve_(1763)" title="Indian Reserve (1763)">Indian Reserve</a> over the area following the Seven Years' War. By the 1780s, only New York and Massachusetts still maintained their claims to the territory, which was separated from mainland New York by a <a href="/wiki/Preemption_Line" title="Preemption Line">Preemption Line</a>. </p><p>Under federal policy designed to extinguish the states' <a href="/wiki/American_Revolutionary_War" title="American Revolutionary War">Revolutionary War</a> debts, the states were required to <a href="/wiki/State_cessions" title="State cessions">extinguish their western land claims</a>. Massachusetts extinguished its claim to the territory in exchange for receiving the profits from its sale to settlers. New York was the only colony not to extinguish its western claim, and by way of the <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Hartford_(1786)" title="Treaty of Hartford (1786)">1786 Treaty of Hartford</a>, the land, with the exception of a <a href="/wiki/Erie_Triangle" title="Erie Triangle">small triangle that was ceded to Pennsylvania in 1792</a>, officially became Western New York. (Had New York extinguished its claim, it would have likely become part of the <a href="/wiki/Northwest_Territory" title="Northwest Territory">Northwest Territory</a> established the next year and formed part of a new state.) Native title, with the exception of several reservations, was extinguished in the <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Canandaigua" title="Treaty of Canandaigua">Treaty of Canandaigua</a> in 1794, while the <a href="/wiki/Phelps_and_Gorham_Purchase" title="Phelps and Gorham Purchase">Phelps and Gorham Purchase</a> and <a href="/wiki/Holland_Purchase" class="mw-redirect" title="Holland Purchase">Holland Purchase</a> opened the territory for settling. During the <a href="/wiki/War_of_1812" title="War of 1812">War of 1812</a> Western New York was part of the <a href="/wiki/Niagara_Frontier" title="Niagara Frontier">borderland frontier</a> between the United States and British Canada and became the scene of various military actions. </p><p>The two major Western New York cities, Buffalo and Rochester, benefited greatly from the opening of the <a href="/wiki/Erie_Canal" title="Erie Canal">Erie Canal</a>. With its strategic position at the western end of the Erie Canal, the eastern end of Lake Erie and proximity to Niagara Falls and Canada, Buffalo emerged as a major port. <a href="/wiki/Niagara_Falls" title="Niagara Falls">Niagara Falls</a> provided Buffalo with a ready supply of power, so much so that one of its enduring nicknames is "The City of Light". Buffalo experienced steady growth during the 19th century and at one point was one of the 10 most populated cities in the United States. According to some, Rochester was "America's First Boomtown"<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and was a key player in the flour industry (hence its initial nickname "Flour City"). Its growth was attributed to both the completion of the Erie Canal and its resulting significance in the flour industry. Olean was originally planned to be a similar major hub, but it proved to be at a major disadvantage: located near the headwaters of the <a href="/wiki/Allegheny_River" title="Allegheny River">Allegheny River</a> (a factor its planners had hoped would make the city a gateway to the Midwest), the river was too shallow to support large boat travel or shipping on a consistent basis. As a region, Western New York played a significant role in the American economy during the 19th century. Large scale immigration from Ireland, Italy, Poland, Great Britain and Germany soon followed into the region. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/New_Religious_Movement" class="mw-redirect" title="New Religious Movement">New Religious Movement</a> known as <a href="/wiki/Spiritualism_(movement)" title="Spiritualism (movement)">Spiritualism</a> was among several that arose in the early 19th century <a href="/wiki/Burned-over_district" title="Burned-over district">burned-over district</a> of Western New York. Its major center is <a href="/wiki/Lily_Dale,_New_York" title="Lily Dale, New York">Lily Dale</a>, one of the largest spiritualism communities in the United States. The original house of the <a href="/wiki/Fox_sisters" title="Fox sisters">Fox sisters</a> was relocated to Lily Dale in 1916. Joseph Smith Jr., founder of the <a href="/wiki/Latter_Day_Saint_movement" title="Latter Day Saint movement">Latter Day Saint movement</a>, reported receiving the Book of Mormon in Palmyra, Wayne County. The women's civic organization <a href="/wiki/Zonta_International" title="Zonta International">Zonta</a> was founded in Buffalo in 1919. </p><p>In the late 20th century this area became part of the <a href="/wiki/Rust_Belt" title="Rust Belt">Rust Belt</a> of the United States, being a focal point for the transportation of grain, steel, and coal. The opening of the <a href="/wiki/Welland_Canal" title="Welland Canal">Welland Canal</a> in 1957 effectively rendered the narrower Erie Canal obsolete, further exacerbating economic problems in the region.

Twice over the course of the compact's history have the Senecas stopped paying their exclusivity payments: once in a dispute over whether <a href="/wiki/Video_lottery_terminal" title="Video lottery terminal">video lottery terminals</a> constituted the breach of the agreement, and again in 2017 after the Senecas claimed they are no longer required to pay the exclusivity payments but still maintain exclusivity under the language of the agreement. </p><p>The three native tribes in the region (Seneca Nation, <a href="/wiki/Tonawanda_Band_of_Seneca" title="Tonawanda Band of Seneca">Tonawanda Band</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tuscarora_Reservation" title="Tuscarora Reservation">Tuscarora</a>) also have a large influence in the <a href="/wiki/Convenience_store" title="Convenience store">convenience store</a> sector. The tribes have long maintained that they are exempt from state <a href="/wiki/Excise_tax" class="mw-redirect" title="Excise tax">excise taxes</a> on gasoline and tobacco products, which allows native-owned convenience stores to provide lower prices than their non-native counterparts. Gasoline tax advantages were most pronounced in the 1990s, when low overall gas prices made the tax advantage far more noticeable. In the 1990s and 2000s, a mail-order tobacco industry thrived on Seneca reservations, an industry that has mostly been cut off since then. Increasing regulations now prohibit Senecas from receiving or selling name-brand cigarettes without taxes, sending tobacco products by mail (<a href="/w/index.php?title=Prevent_All_Cigarette_Trafficking_Act&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act (page does not exist)">Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act</a>) or private delivery, or accepting credit cards for remote purchases; the Senecas still sell native-produced tobacco products in brick-and-mortar stores on the reservations.
