Angola is a village in the town of Evans in Erie County, New York, United States. Located 2 miles (3 km) east of Lake Erie, the village is 22 miles (35 km) southwest of downtown Buffalo. As of the 2010 Census, Angola had a population of 2,127. An unincorporated community known as Angola upon the Lake, with a population of 1,675, lies together with Angola village and Lake Erie.

The community was in the past called “Evans Station”. Circa 1854 or 1855, a say office was traditional there, bearing the name “Angola”. The first postmaster was John H. Andrus, who forward-looking became county clerk. The additional name was apparently chosen because, at that time, local residents (primarily Quakers) were supporting missionary efforts in the Portuguese colony of Angola in Africa. The economy of the village improved considering the start of a railroad descent in 1852.

The Village of Angola was incorporated in 1873. In June 2004, an attempt to invalidate the village was thwarted by a judicial ruling that the petitions for a referendum were invalid. In 2007, the village entirely to call off its police department and contract later the Town of Evans for police services. Angola officers would be hired by Evans.
