History
The village of Kenmore was incorporated in 1899 from part of the town of Tonawanda. It is known as “Buffalo‘s First Suburb”.
Louis Eberhardt, known as the “father of Kenmore”, opposed naming the village “Eberhardt” after himself. He was responsible for buying farmland and subdividing the property into a suburban development. The building which is portrayed on the village logo is the Eberhardt Mansion, located at the corner of Delaware Avenue and Kenmore Avenue. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The Kenmore Village Hall was listed in 2013 as the Tonawanda Municipal Building.
