About Buffalo

With just over 200 residents, Buffalo is a quiet, tight-knit rural community settled in Wilson County along US 75. Life here moves at a peaceful country pace, while the highway provides a straight shot to neighboring towns for work and everyday shopping. Families share a school district with nearby Altoona, with the local middle and high school campus located right in town along the main road. For anyone looking for wide-open spaces, a low-key lifestyle, and classic small-town Kansas charm, Buffalo offers a simple and welcoming place to put down roots.
