Welcome to the official website of the Village of Angola.

Angola is a very quaint one-square-mile of friendship, community and history located in the Town of Evans, just 30 miles south of Buffalo NY. Angola shares beautiful Lake Erie Beaches smoldering with the most picturesque sunsets. Rich in history and culture, Angola is known for friendly conversation, and welcoming warm atmosphere. Come take a walk down newly renovated N. Main Street and enjoy new sidewalks, park benches, flower boxes, lamp-posts, memorial trees and more.

********************
Where Did the Name Angola Come From?? so many ask

A little bit of history as told by Deputy Mayor William Houston: Many years ago when the trains came through this area, it was called Evans Station. The people applied to the Federal Government to put a Post Office in this area. In the meantime, the Quakers started a colony this side of Gowanda NY in the Collins area. These Quakers were known to help many in need, and also reached out and sent aid to Angola, Africa quite often. In 1855, when the Angola Post Office (which is what they called it because it was used by the Quakers in their outreach to Angola Africa) located in Taylor Hollow, closed, The Federal Government offered it to this area to satisfy the request of the people of Evans Station. The post office was moved here, and "Hence" the name Angola begins.

current population is 2266
