Bluff Siding is a small, quiet place in Buffalo County, Wisconsin, United States. It is also known as Atlanta Station. It's called an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that don't have their own local government like a city or a village. Instead, it's part of a larger area called the Town of Buffalo.
Bluff Siding got its name from the tall, rocky cliffs, or "bluffs," nearby. It was also a "siding" on the Chicago and North Western Railway. A siding is like a short extra track next to a main railway line. Trains could pull off the main track here to let other trains pass or to load and unload goods.
