Niagara County, New York
Niagara County is home to one of the world’s most famous natural wonders, Niagara Falls. Beyond the falls, the county has friendly towns, tasty wineries, and scenic views along Lake Ontario.
Situated in western New York, this county borders Canada and Lake Ontario. It’s not just about the falls, though. There’s a rich history here.
The Erie Canal runs through it, once a vital transportation route. Orchards and vineyards are across the landscape. You’ll find small towns with friendly folks. Lewiston, for instance, has a quaint main street.
