Why do they call it buffalo sauce?

This tasty item originated in Buffalo, New York with most foodie historians indicating buffalo wings probably were first served in the Anchor Bar there. A couple named Frank and Teressa Bellissimo owned that bar, which they had purchased in 1939. Buffalo wings are traditionally served hot, along with celery sticks and carrot sticks with blue cheese dressing for dipping.
