Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls is a city located in Niagara County, New York. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 55,593. It is across the Niagara River from Niagara Falls, Ontario, both named after the famed Niagara Falls which they share. It has been considered part of the Buffalo, New York metro area. The Maid of the Mist boat goes right up to the foot of the falls and departs from both the U.S. and Canadian sides. The Maid of the Mist cruises are famous the world over. The boat takes you first to the base of the American Falls and then on to the basin of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. This is a spectacular experience. Giant rock formations stretch above you while waves crash against the rocks in the river as well as the boat. Raincoats are provided because at times, the mist is as thick as rain. For an aerial view from the Canadian shore, ride the elevator to the top of either the Skylon Tower or the Minolta Tower Centre. There's also a cable-car ride that takes visitors out over the Niagara Gorge and the Great Gorge Adventure, a boardwalk along the water, downriver from the falls. more...

History of Niagara Falls

The City of Niagara Falls was incorporated in 1892. Historically, the city was built up around factories that utilized the power of the falling water for energy. Now the downtown area is a park (Niagara Falls State Park) affording a close-up view of the American, Horseshoe and Bridal Veil Falls. The European intrusion into the area began in the 17th Century with missionaries and explorers. This interaction of the local tribes, already hostile, was rapidly converted to open warfare by the competition for the fur trade. more...
