This Cass County community had only a single national bank and it was chartered in December 1902. There are six large notes reported with this being the only $20; there were 5,882 large size sheets printed. This is a lovely note with blue stamped signatures of E.E. More, President and S.G. More, Cashier. The note has big margins as well. Buffalo is located in Cass County in the Fargo metro area. The population was 188 at the 2010 census. Buffalo was founded in 1872 as a Northern Pacific Railroad station named Third Siding and became New Buffalo about 1875. Postmaster Charles A. Wilder shortened the name to Buffalo in 1883. The village incorporated April 8, 1883 and the population peaked at 410 in 1890. The rural fire department of Buffalo was organized in 1958. At that time a 1956 fire truck was purchased. It was the first rural fire protected district in North Dakota.
