Orchard Park

Orchard Park is a town in Erie County, New York, located southeast of Buffalo. The area contains residential neighborhoods, a municipal center, and several parks spread across gently rolling terrain.

The area was part of the town of Hamburg until 1850 and was known as Potters Corners. The current name was adopted in 1934, after Quaker settlers established their community here.

The Orchard Park Festival of the Arts, established in the 1960s, brings together local artists and craftspeople each September for community exhibitions.

The municipal center provides administrative services and hosts public meetings. The town is easily reached by car and has a network of residential streets.

Highmark Stadium is home to the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League. Fans fill the seats on game days and transform the surrounding area into a hub of local sports culture.
