Thought this was interesting ...... I'd never heard of this before !!
Visitors to Salford, home of Coronation Street, might muse over street names such as Buffalo Court and Dakota Avenue. They derive from the winter of 1887-88, when the city's back-to-back terraces were augmented by 97 native Americans in teepees, plus 10 elks, 18 buffalo and assorted other livestock. The native Americans had arrived in November 1887 as part of 'Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World Show'. This spectacle was led by the army scout William Frederick 'Buffalo Bill' Cody and included bucking-bronco riding and other acts of derring-do from a 200-strong troupe. They set up tents beside the River Irwell, and in the evenings performed at a nearby venue. Such was the demand that they stayed for five months, becoming part of local life. One native American couple had a baby girl baptised at St Clement's Church. Several of the Salford Sioux had been in the Battle of Little Big Horn, including Nicholas Black Elk, who would later be immortalised in the 1932 bestseller Black Elk Speaks. Black Elk was one of a party left behind in Salford who had to make their own way back to the US.
