Depew Founders Day Gathers Strength Through History
Bee Editorial outlines Depew’s Founders Day as a community bolstered by early settlement, Dutch and German immigration, and 20th century industrial growth. It notes 2017 beginnings, 1894 incorporation, and modern funding from NY State CFA and Community Development grants for sidewalks, park upgrades, and a new Senior Center. The 2023 festival runs July 21–22 at Veterans Park with music, line dancing, food trucks, and family activities.
