This bronze sculpture of a buffalo is on display at the street entrance of Brookshire Brothers at the Western edge of Buffalo, TX. It unfortunately does not include any plaque displaying its artist and/or official name.
Buffalo, Texas had 1,804 inhabitants as of the 2000 census and is only 4 sq. miles (10 km2) wide. It is a just another small Texas city, not truly distinguishable from any other save for a few interesting trivia facts:
* In 1993 and 1994, the town temporarily changed its name to "Blue Star, Texas" during Super Bowl weekend, to show support for the Dallas Cowboys (who faced the Buffalo Bills both years; blue is the color of the star on the Cowboys' helmet).
* In 1999, it again briefly changed its name, this time to "Green Star, Texas", to support the Dallas Stars as they played the Buffalo Sabres in the Stanley Cup finals.
