Welcome to the Town of Evans, New York

Situated on the shores of Lake Erie, the Town of Evans (population 17,594 - Village of Angola 2,266 - 2000 Census) occupies almost 42 square miles in the southwestern corner of Erie County, New York.

Despite the population decline in Western New York, the Town of Evans has experienced an increase in residential and commercial development over the past decade as a result of suburban migration to the Town from the Buffalo metropolitan communities; the conversion of lakefront seasonal residences to year-round residences; the attraction of the "rural type" features that the open space in Evans provides; and the affordability of the diverse housing stock. Our waterfront location has also made the Town a popular spot for tourism and recreation, especially during the summer months.

The Town's recent residential and commercial development has been centered in four areas:

  • Between New York State (NYS) Route 5 and the Lakefront;
  • Seasonal tourist locations;
  • The Village of Angola; and
  • Among highways, such as NYS Route 5 (Erie Road), US Route 20 (Southwestern Boulevard) and the NYS Thruway (I-90).

There is great potential for further commercial expansion in the four high traffic areas referenced above.
