With the [[CSX]] Frontier yard to the village's north and the [[Norfolk Southern]] Bison yard to the village's south, it was a historically important railroad town like nearby [[Depew, New York|Depew]]. These yards were originally the [[New York Central]] and [[Erie-Lackawanna]], respectively.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} For much of its history the village had a police force ranging from three to six officers. The force was abolished circa 1978, and the four patrolmen and one captain were absorbed by the Cheektowaga Police Department, which to this day provides police services to the village.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} [[Visniak]] brand soft drinks were made in Sloan.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://businessprofiles.com/details/saturn-visniak-beverage-company/NY-147865 |title=SATURN VISNIAK BEVERAGE COMPANY, INC. |website=BusinessProfiles |access-date=January 18, 2024}}</ref>
