About New Buffalo
New Buffalo is a tiny borough of about 125 people on the Susquehanna River in eastern Perry County, along US 11/15 just north of Duncannon. It is essentially a riverfront village — a few streets, a post office, a pizza shop, and a Methodist church — with the Susquehanna as its backyard. Among the smallest incorporated boroughs in Pennsylvania, it suits buyers who want maximum quiet and river access at minimal cost. (Per Wikipedia, read September 24, 2026.)
