Although the Delawares reached this important region before 

 the middle of the i8th century they left few surviving names on 

 or near the Allegany river. The Senecas built some villages, and 

 were rapidly spreading westward at that time. The wars which 

 soon followed checked their advance, but their most important 

 reservations and villages are still on the Allegany river and Cat- 

 taraugus creek.
