Niagara Falls is a city on the Niagara River located in the Golden Horseshoe region of
Southern Ontario, Canada, with a population of 83,184 as of 2008. This is a city with a long
history, and a large part of this history is tourism.
The city is dominated by Niagara Falls, a set of two world famous waterfalls on the Niagara
River. The fact that both falls, the American and Horseshoe, can be best seen from the Canadian
side of the river, has presented the City of Niagara Falls the opportunity to host one of the major
tourist attractions of the world. This natural display brings in millions of tourists yearly, from
Canada, the United States and around the world.
To further accommodate and entertain the growing influx of visitors, the city permitted the
development of a tourist area along the falls and the gorge. This area stretches along the Niagara
River parkway and tourist promenade. Here one can find souvenir shops, observation towers,
high-rise-hotels, casinos and theatres. Further north and south of the city, one can find a plethora
of golf courses alongside historic sites from the War of 1812. The tourism and the industries that
help support the tourism market account for a large part of the city’s economy.
However, those who live in Niagara Falls know there is a lot more to see and to in the city,
once one gets off the beaten path. Niagara Falls offers a vast array of year-round activities for
the entire family, some of which include: navigating beautifully maintained biking and walking
trails along the world-famous Niagara gorge, numerous golf courses, baseball diamonds, sports
fields, swimming pools and skating rinks unite local residents and contribute to a strong sense of
community.
