== History == The area was first settled ''circa'' 1817. The town of Mansfield was formed in 1830 from part of the town of [[Little Valley, New York|Town of Little Valley]]. The town was first called "Cecilius". The name "Mansfield" was adopted in 1831. Mansfield had a post office by 1840.<ref>1840 map of Cattaraugus County available on maps.cattco.org</ref> It is implied to still have a post office as late as 1933<ref>"Only One 'Salamanca' in United States; Many Cattaraugus Co. Names Duplicated." ''The Cattaraugus Republican'' (August 16, 1933).</ref> but merged with the Little Valley post office some time before the establishment of [[ZIP Code]]s in 1963. (Within the 147 prefix, Little Valley and Mansfield are adjacent to each other alphabetically and geographically.) The [[ZIP Code Tabulation Area]] for 14755, the ZIP Code for Little Valley, shows a clear 8 shape illustrating the territory each office covered.<ref>[http://www.usboundary.com/Areas/5-Digit%20ZIP%20Code%20Tabulation%20Area/New%20York/14755/702318 ZIP Code Tabulation Area, 14755]</ref>
