Town of Depew, NY Website
The Village of Depew is unique to the area in that it straddles two townships:
Transit Road divides the village: those living east of Transit are residents of the Town of Lancaster, those living to the west are residents of the Town of Cheektowaga.
One of the earliest settlers in the area was Appolos Hitchcock, who came in 1808 to settle south of Broadway along Cayuga Creek, west of Bordon Road. He served as a liaison and agent between the Holland Land Company and the Indians, who respected him. He built homes for each of his sons along Broadway. A red brick home was built at the corner of Broadway and Borden about 1855 for his youngest son, James.
