Silver Creek, NY

Silver Creek is a village on Lake Erie in Chautauqua County, close to Erie County. The population is around 2,600.

Silver Creek began as a small shipping port on Lake Erie in the early 1800s. Shipping declined in the mid-1800s when railroads were laid down in the area. Later in the 1800s, Silver Creek became a small manufacturing center for grain=cleaning machinery.

Today, the village serves the surrounding agricultural community. Concord grapes, grown for jelly, are the staple crop. Welch's uses most of the grapes in the area for their grape jelly.
