History
6
Harris Hill was named for Asa Harris, a pioneer who settled here in 1807 and opened a tavern. When Buffalo burned during the War of 1812, Harris Hill became a haven for refugees. Many Buffalo business places were moved here temporarily, including the County Clerk's office and the Niagara Frontier's first newspaper, the Buffalo Gazette.
