City of Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls occupies the eastern bank of the Niagara River in western New York, directly opposite Ontario, Canada. The city faces the three cataracts collectively called Niagara Falls: Horseshoe Falls crosses the international border, while American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls lie on the U.S. side. Goat Island separates the American and Horseshoe falls and forms part of Niagara Falls State Park, established in 1885 and recognized as the oldest state park in the United States. The river’s drop also helped make this corridor important to the early development of hydroelectric power.
