    When counties were established in
    New York
    State
    in 1683 present-day
    Erie
    County
    was Indian territory and was
    not part of
    New
    York
    . Significant European settlement began ca. 1800 after the Holland Land Company extinguished
    Indian claims to the land,
    acquired the title to eight western-most counties of
    Western New York
    , surveyed
    their holdings, established towns,
    and began
    selling lots.
    At this time, all of Western New York was part of
    Ontario
    County
    . In 1802,
    Genesee
    County
    was created out
    of
    Ontario
    County
    .
    In 1808,
    Niagara
    County
    was created out of
    Genesee
    County
    . In 1821,
    Erie
    County
    was created
    out of
    Niagara
    County
    , encompassing
    all of the land between Tonawanda Creek and Cattaraugus Creek.
