Westfield & Barcelona Chamber of Commerce

Westfield has long been an attractive location for entrepreneurs and manufacturers.  Located along the western shores of Lake Erie in Chautauqua County and the scenic The Seaway Trail, Westfield has direct access to Interstate 90, two major state highways and two railroads.  Offering exceptional access for today’s businesses, and forward thinking, regarding technology and planned development, Westfield is the ideal location for business of all sizes - from the home based business to the large corporation.

 When Dr. Charles Welch of the internationally renowned WELCH’s GRAPE JUICE visited Westfield in 1897 and was driven down the hill from Mayville, he experienced the mirage effect of what appeared to be “boats sailing in the air.” That view can still be seen today, and provides the backdrop to one of the most picturesque villages on Lake Erie’s Barcelona harbor.

Described as having the19th century charm of a flourishing small town combined with 21st century modern technologies and conveniences, Westfield is a safe, secure community, which is ideal for children with many parks, playgrounds, and other public green spaces. Visitors discover friendly people living on tree-lined streets, a thriving town center business community, and a large number of major employers. No other community its size offers so much for so many.

Some of the area’s features include: The Barcelona Lighthouse; Barcelona Harbor and Dan Reid Pier with the Sea Lion Old Ship Model;  McClurg Museum: Home of the Chautauqua County Historical Society;  5 Bed and Breakfasts; Lincoln-Bedell Park; Award-Winning Patterson Library; close proximity to excellent stream and lake fishing and boating in Lake Erie, Chautauqua Lake, and Chautauqua Creek; Three Campgrounds (KOA, Blue Water Beach and Brookside Beach); Numerous historic homes and landmarks plus two Historic Districts,(French Portage Road and East Main Historic Districts); Many fine eateries, restaurants and antique shops.

With a reverence and appreciation for its own and the region’s history and natural resources, Westfield is a wonderful place to live, do business and visit.
