Rich in history, Amherst was formed in 1818 from a part of the Town of Buffalo (which later became the City of Buffalo) and covers approximately 53 square miles. In 1818, the town of Amherst was officially created and was named for Sir Jeffrey Amherst, an English lord who was a former Commander-in-Chief of the British troops in America.
