Buffalo Hill lies along the rolling Piedmont of central Virginia, where low wooded ridges and farmland extend east of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This small Amherst County locality belongs to the broad country between the mountains and the James River, shaped by farms, local roads and scattered settlement rather than urban development. Amherst County was formed in 1761 and named for Jeffery Amherst, a British military commander. Buffalo Hill provides a useful point of reference for exploring Virginia’s rural interior, with Lynchburg and the Blue Ridge forming the wider regional setting.
