Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls is a group of three waterfalls located on the border between the United States and Canada. The three falls are: Horseshoe Falls (the largest, mostly in Canada), American Falls (in the U.S.), Bridal Veil Falls (also in the U.S.)

About 12,000 years ago, at the end of the last Ice Age, melting glaciers formed the Great Lakes. Water from Lake Erie began to flow toward Lake Ontario, carving out the Niagara River. Over time, the powerful flow of water eroded the land, creating the falls.

Niagara’s History:

In the 1800s, Niagara Falls became a popular tourist destination. Hydroelectric power started being developed in the late 19th century, with pioneers like Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse helping create one of the world’s first hydroelectric plants. Today, Niagara Falls is a major tourist attraction, visited by millions each year. It is also a key source of clean electricity and a symbol of natural beauty and power.
