Niagara Falls





Niagara Falls are composed of two major sections, separated by Goat Island; the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side and the American Falls on the American side. The smaller Bridal Veil Fall are located on the American side, separated from the main falls by Luna Island. The international boudary lin e was originally drawn through Horseshe Falls in 1819, but the boudary has long benn in dispute due to natural erosion and construction.

The Niagara Falls are renowned both for their beauty and as a valuable source of hydroelectric power. Managingnthe balance between recreational, commercial, and industrial uses has been a challenge for the stewards of the falls since the 19th century.
