Historical backdrop
While the name “Niagara” is told to come from an Iroquois phrase “Onguiaahra”, or “The Strait”, I have noticed the folklore to be a more riveting story. The legend from Native American Indians tells of Lelawala, a gorgeous maiden affianced by her father to an Indian warrior she loathed. She chose to sacrifice herself to the Thunder God He-No instead of marrying a man she did not love. The history says that she paddled her canoe over the falls and into He-No’s arms. Together their souls will live forever in the Thunder God’s refuge behind the Falls.
You probably already know that tourism is the regions principal source of income. This really started during the early 1900's and even Napoleon's brother Jérôme Bonaparte visited with his bride. After this country's Civil War the railways began advertising the area as a vacation spot. It wasn't hard given the history to glamorise Niagara Falls as an idealistic honeymoon destination.
The tourism industry savored a second boom immediately after World War One. It was the auto that offered a much need boost to the industry. Travel to the area became much easier and was one of the best holiday destinations that New Yorkers could drive their shiny new cars to.
Almost from the time that Niagara Falls was found man has been attempting to rule the monumental water flow as an eternal supply of energy. The first successful endeavor to use the falls as an energy source was documented in 1759 when Daniel Joncairs powered his lumbermill with a modest man made canal. The major exploitation came in 1883 when Nikola Tesla formulated the three-phase system of alternating current power transmission. This engineering science made it possible to transfer electrical energy over long distances. Today Niagara Falls supplies about 4.4GW of power to the encompassing areas of both the United States and Canada.
Conservation efforts
Once Europeans commenced to settle in the Niagara Falls area it was promptly targeted by developers and enterprisers alike as a way to gain a fast fortune. Unlike today most of the land in the area was privately owned and was easily acquired for growth. This came at a toll to the natural beauty of the region. As luck would have it a group of worried citizens guided by noted artist Frederick Church organised the Free Niagara movement. This organisation was successful in convincing the general community that Preservation of the area was in its best concern.
In 1885 the Niagara Reservation State Park, engaged by New York State, started purchasing land from developers in an campaign to retard the consuming development in the area. The Canadians followed suit in the same year with the Queen Victoria Niagara Falls Park. Each organisations have been hugely successful at preserving the area and curtailing exploitation so that new generations will be able to enjoy this natural wonderment.
Niagara has so much to offer. From a deep chronicle of romance and adventure to a major natural wonder. If your debating a vacation to the vicinity, I’m certain you’ll be able to locate enough to do. I have named several beneficial books at the conclusion of this article or you can visit Amazon for a entire list of books on Niagara Falls. Please don't forget to leave the area as nice as you encountered it and to leave the barrel at home.
