Clarence was, along with Willink, originally part of Genesee County.
When Genesee County was established in 1802, all of the region was part of the town of Batavia, the single, original town of Genesee County. Western New York was part of the Holland Purchase. The defunct town of Willink was also a source of new towns, primarily in the south part of the county, being completely partitioned for this purpose. Then finally in 1833, Lancaster was also formed from the town. Then in 1823, Newstead and Alden were formed respectively from the east and southeast parts of Clarence. In 1810, the town of Buffalo, from which the city of Buffalo later originated, was separated from Clarence.
The local Native Americans called the area Ta-Num-No-Ga-O, which means "Place of Hickory Bark".Ĭlarence was the first town to be established in Erie County (1808), and many other towns, villages, and cities have been formed from parts of this original town. There are no incorporated villages within the town. The town is named in honor of Prince William, Duke of Clarence and St Andrews (1765–1837), the third son of King George III and later king himself, as William IV. The Clarence census-designated place occupies the southeast part of the town and roughly corresponds to a postal district with ZIP code 1401 in the western side which it shares with nearby Williamsville. This represents an increase of 7.4% from the 2010 census figure. The population was 32,950 according to the 2020 census estimate. 14031, 14032, 14051*, 14221* (*= denotes part of western side)Ĭlarence is a town and affluent suburb located in the northeastern part of Erie County, New York, United States, northeast of Buffalo.
