You are correct, they are bison (they have horns, buffalo have antlers).

From Wikipedia: " it is possible that the area was called "Buffalo" as a result of French fur traders and American Indians having called the creek "Beau Fleuve," or "Beautiful River," in French"

I lived within 200 yards of Beau Fleuve for over 20 years.

Now, we've got our own local Redskins "controversy" ...

They are bison, but buffalo do not have antlers. Deer & moose have antlers, both bison & buffalo have horns.
