Willink, New York

Willink, New York (sometimes "Willinck") is a former town in Western New York, USA. The name was derived from Willem Willink, one of the original investors of the Holland Land Company.

When Erie County was formed from the south part of Niagara County, Willink became the south part of that new county. Willink already had been divided to form the towns of Cambria and Clarence in 1808, Clarence forming the northern part of the yet created Erie County.
