Evans is a town in Erie County, New York, United States. The population was 16,356 at the 2010 census.[2] The town derives its name from David E. Evans,[3] an agent of the Holland Land Company and nephew of land agent Joseph Ellicott.
The town is approximately 20 miles (32 km) southwest of Buffalo and is a rural community with 12 miles (19 km) of waterfront. The town is located close to the major trading centers of the Northeast and is a bi-national gateway for commerce due to the region's border location with Canada.
