Lackawanna, Industrial city in Erie County, New York, United States.
Located on Lake Erie, Lackawanna extends over 6.6 square miles south of Buffalo, with Smokes Creek flowing through its territory into the lake.
The Lackawanna Steel Company established operations in 1903, transforming the area from Limestone Hill into a major industrial center that Bethlehem Steel acquired in 1922.
Our Lady of Victory Basilica stands as a National Shrine in Lackawanna, while Masjid Alhuda serves as the largest mosque in the Buffalo metropolitan area.
The City Hall at 714 Ridge Road provides municipal services Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, including permits and community programs.
The former Bethlehem Steel plant site represents one of the largest brownfield redevelopment opportunities in New York State, spanning several miles along Lake Erie.
