      The city was named after the Buffalo River. The origin of the river’s name is uncertain, but it is most likely named after the animal.

  Buffalo in english is a weird word, because it’s an animal, a city and an action, which is why the phrase “Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo” is one of the weirdest things I’ve ever heard, but completely correct english.
