Because the town is on land of the former Buffalo Creek Reservation, it was not open to white settlement until the mid-19th century. In 1851, the town of Seneca was formed from parts of the towns of Cheektowaga and Hamburg. The town changed the name to "West Seneca" in 1852 to avoid confusion with the town of Seneca in Ontario County, New York.


In 1909 the area immediately south of Buffalo split from West Seneca, becoming the city of Lackawanna. Following election day in 2019, the town elected a Republican Town Supervisor for the first time in 50 years and first town board member in 13 years, despite having a two to one Democrat to Republican ratio among registered voters (a Democrat running as an Independent also ran in the Supervisorial race). The Eaton Site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.


The Community of True Inspiration Residence was listed in 2013.
