New Buffalo is a small, unincorporated community located in Mahoning County, which is in the state of Ohio in the United States. An "unincorporated community" means it's a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town does. Instead, it's usually managed by the county government.

A Look at Its Past

New Buffalo has a bit of history, even though it's a small place. A post office was opened here in 1877. This was an important event because it meant the community was growing. People could send and receive mail right in their own area.

The post office served the community for many years. However, it eventually closed down in 1902. Besides the post office, New Buffalo also had a country store. These stores were very important back then. They were places where people could buy everyday items. They also served as a meeting spot for people in the community.
