This area was called the "Western Door" by the Seneca Indians who inhabited WNY before the coming of the Europeans. They were the westernmost of the five nations of the Iroquois Confederation, thus the "Keepers of the Western Door"

Western New York is a land of great scenic beauty. Most of the dominant features including the Finger Lakes, the spectactular waterfalls, gorges and glens were sculpted by the unique geology of the glaciers. One of the best places to enjoy this beauty is Letchworth State Park, "The Grand Canyon of the East."The many lakes, including the surrounding Great Lakes of Ontario and Erie make Western New York a water wonderland.
