Members of Samuel de Champlain's group, as early as 1604, first noticed the spectacular waterfall.


Two cities namely, Niagara Falls, New York, USA and Niagara Falls, Ontario, represent the American and Canadian side. Each side promises a different perspective to visitors. The Rainbow Bridge and the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge connect the cities. Niagara Falls consists of three sections - the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls (center), and Horseshoe Falls.
