1. Niagara Falls 1904 - 2004 Celebrating 100 Years - Marker
The Grand Trunk Railway (now Canadian National) was the chief employer in the new city, which had a population of 7,000. Within the next two years three large hydroelectric generating stations began operating in the area around the Horseshoe Falls. These plants, along with the many manufacturing industries that were subsequently attracted here due to the availability of plentiful and inexpensive electricity, ensured the city's growth.
Tourism has also played an increasingly important role in the community's economy. In 1963, Stamford Township became part of Niagara Falls. Following the creation of regional government seven years later, the village of Chippawa, Willoughby Township and a portion of Crowland and Humberstone Townships were also amalgamated with the city.
