History
editIn 1806, Samuel Church purchased the land that would become Churchville in what was then known as West Pulteney. The village was incorporated on September 21, 1852, and named after Samuel Church, who owned all the land within the village limits.[4]
The village expanded following the conclusion of the War of 1812 —which Samuel Church himself fought in— hastened by the connection of the Tonawanda railroad in 1837. [5]
