Enjoy the peace and comfort of Buffalo ranches.The derivation of the word "Buffalo" has never been fully explained. One thing's for sure: no buffalo, or North American bison, has ever been sighted in the area, unless, of course, you're talking about the Buffalo Zoo. One of the theories has it that the first settlers, upon sighting Native Americans in the area, gave the name Buffaloe's Creek to what is now the Buffalo River. Another version says that the French called the Niagara River beau fleuve or beautiful river, and this came to be mispronounced as "Buffalo."
However, the great American Buffalo is a symbol of strength and perseverance for the people of North America. This majestic animal has influenced people's lives like no other animal ever will. Buffalo were the major grazers on the North American Plains since the close of the last ice age. A strong relationship between the human and the bison has existed for thousand of years. Their number being so great that the early explorers could not count them, describing them as "numberless". These vast numbers once sustained the Native Americans' way of life with lean, healthy meat, housing material, clothing and leather goods. However, in the 1800's, Buffalo numbers dwindled as they were hunted to near extinction. But through the work of buffalo ranchers and preservationists, the Buffalo have fought their way back... and are thriving across the land.
