Originally called Queen City for being the largest and most prosperous city along the Great Lakes in the end of the 1800's to the beginning of the 1900's, it was at one point the second largest trade port in the North after NYC. Buffalo's original downfall from prosperity came with the diminished use of the Erie Canal.
