Lake View is a hamlet (but non-census-designated place) in Erie County, New York, USA. Lake View is in the Town of Hamburg. == Geography == It is about south of Buffalo along Lake Erie. It is bounded by Eighteen Mile Creek on the south (so named for the distance of its mouth from Buffalo), Pleasant Ave. on the north, Lake Erie on the west and the Village of Hamburg on the east. == History == Early settlers were Ebenezer Ames, Jacob F. Schoellkopf (), a successful entrepreneur in the Western NY area and Ebenezer Walden, a prominent Buffalo attorney and mayor whose family built the Lake View Hotel in 1880 to serve the many traveling salesmen who arrived on the seven daily trains on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway (later part of New York Central Railroad) to sell their wares in the surrounding countryside. The salesmen (called "drummers") would rent a horse and buggy from the livery stable behind the six-room hotel to make their rounds. By 1890, two more railroads ran through Lake View - the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad (the Nickel Plate Road) and the Pennsylvania Railroad which brought economic prosperity to the small community. An electric trolley was also built called the Buffalo & Erie to facilitate travel to and from Buffalo and operated until the mid-1930s. Lake View was the site of the creation by several attorneys from Buffalo of a summer resort colony called Idlewood in 1886, the Lake View Community Church() in 1889, Lake View School in 1890, the Gatling Land Boom in 1893, the Day Bicycle Factory () in 1895, Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church () in 1921 and the Lake View Fire Association in 1923. During WWII, two young woman named Winifred Stadler and Rita Fierle produced a newsletter called the Lake View Local which was sent to the town's men and women serving their country abroad. Lake View, NY is also the Official home of the 6 time World Champion Moose Jaw Rockies of the Preston Ridlehuber Football League (P.R.F.L.) The home of Moose Jaw Central sits atop the cliffs overlooking Eighteen Mile Creek. In the late 1950s, the Lake View Community Association produced a cookbook called "The ABC's of Cooking" which contained many favorite tried and true recipes from the town's residents. ==Notable people== *William Stachowski, former New York State Senator *Ebenezer Walden, former Mayor of Buffalo, New York 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lake View, New York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
