This is the common name for the southern part of Template:City-state that served as the home of United States President Millard Fillmore and sainthood candidate Father Nelson Baker.

Several other towns in the snowbelt south of Buffalo are also considered part of the southtowns. This region is the northwesternmost foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.
