The city of Niagara Falls was established on March 17, 1892. Governor Rosewell L. Flower signed a law to promote the city. Thomas Vincent WELCH, a member of the Imperial Sanction Committee and a member of the New York State Council, and more importantly, a second-generation Irish American, was in charge of the bill's signature and having Governor Flower sign St. Patrick's Day. Historically, the city of Niagara Falls was built around a factory that turns the energy that falls into electricity. The central town now surrounds the Niagara Falls State Park where you can see the American, Canadian and Bridal Bale falls nearby. The European immigrants to this area were first by missionaries and explorers in the 17th century. The influx of the newcomers turned the hostile indigenous peoples into fighting in the competition for fur trade.

By the end of the 19th century, the city of Niagara Falls had become a heavy industrial zone due to the huge power provided by the rapids of the Niagara River. The town has a relatively strong industrial base even today, but it is away from places where tourists visit.

The neighboring Love Canal, where U.S. President Jimmy Carter declared an emergency there in 1978, attracted the attention of the national media when hundreds of residents moved there. Starting in 1920, the area was developed as a residential area after being used as a landfill for chemical industrial waste (later toxic industrial waste). The Super Fund Law was enacted in 1980 to protect local residents, families and communities from being seriously contaminated with toxic substances, in response to the situation at the Love Canal.

The city of Niagara Falls in Ontario, the twin city of Canada, gained a lot of power in the tourism industry in the 1990s and was called Las Vegas, Canada, with casinos and high rise hotels allowed, while the city of Niagara Falls in New York State remains more natural and unenterprising. However, in 2004, the Seneca people of Indigenous Peoples established Seneca Niagara and Casino in the former Niagara Falls Conference Civic Hall, which established the independent territory of Indigenous peoples in the center of the city.

The economy of Niagara Falls was originally based on power generated by the water fall itself or at least a large amount of falling water. This cheap and abundant energy source was the driving force behind the rapid rise of the industrial zone. At the end of the 19th century, many immigrants from European countries such as Italy and Poland moved to work in the chemical, steel and other manufacturing plants owned by Occidental companies in the region.

The importance of Niagara Falls was reduced for several reasons in the late 20th century. Perhaps the most significant was the high wages of blue collar workers, the strength of the union, and the high taxes compared to corrupt governments and other parts of the United States. Previously, inexpensive products made at Niagara Falls were produced more cheaply elsewhere. Another major reason was the movement to the suburbs, which were the national phenomenon at that time. The city had a population of over 100,000 people at most, but as factories were closed and people moved to the south and west to find jobs, the population was nearly halved.

However, a new era of economic prosperity is slowly coming to pass for Niagara Falls and the rest of Niagara County. Local and state governments have begun to make use of the physical and cultural advantages that the Niagara region originally has. the Niagara Valley, the burgeoning wine road, the historical landscape, and of course the Niagara Falls itself. Moving away from the past industries of the town to an economy based on a more sustainable tourism industry has been reviving the city in recent years. Later in 2001, New York State has launched the state's economic development organization, USA Niagara Development Corporation, focusing specifically on promoting the development of the City center of Niagaa Falls.

The current development strategy of the Niagaa Falls focuses on practical ways, such as a promotional project that will attract attention with actual economic effects, to revitalize the vacant central town or underutilized buildings. The new Niagaa Falls Conference Center opened in 2005, the redeveloped United Office Building, the new Mist Theater, the former Holiday in Select, the new Crowne Plaza Resort with several restaurants including Starbucks Coffee, the Niagara Air Museum and the planned Niagara Experience Center in the city, and of course, the Seneca Niagara Falls are repositioned at major destinations.

The Niagara Falls is believed to be one of the top 10 tourist spots in the United States, with 8 to 10 million visitors a year.
