Inscription. The namesake for Long Avenue in the village, Isaac Long for many years owned the water-powered mill on Eighteen Mile Creek at the foot of the present South Buffalo Street. This mill and other similar water-powered mills on the creek were the foundation of the early 1800s commercial development of White's Corners, now the Village of Hamburg. Long Mill and Eighteen Mile Creek are symbolized on the village's 1974 Centennial Seal.
