    Discover the historic town of Niagara-on-the-Lake

    Niagara-on-the-Lake, nestled at the mouth of the Niagara River where it meets Lake Ontario, boasts one of Canada's richest historical tapestries. Originally inhabited by Indigenous peoples including the Neutral and Mississauga nations, the area was settled by British Loyalists in 1781 and named Butlersburg, later West Niagara. In 1792, it became Newark, the first capital of Upper Canada.

    During the War of 1812, the town was invaded by American forces and burnt, but it was rebuilt and renamed Niagara-on-the-Lake to distinguish it from nearby Niagara Falls. The town is home to Ontario’s oldest Anglican church, St. Mark’s, and North America’s oldest surviving golf course.

    In 1970, the town merged with surrounding villages to form the modern municipality. Today, it’s celebrated for its preserved colonial architecture, Fort George, and the Shaw Festival, drawing visitors from around the world. From battlefield to cultural haven, Niagara-on-the-Lake is a living museum of Canadian heritage.
