How Niagara Falls Electrified the World (And Became The King of Power)

Niagara Falls is one of the top producers of electricity in the state of New York. Join us as we explore the long legacy of Niagara Falls, New York's power plants, from the early hydraulic canals to the modern marvel of the Niagara Power Project, and learn why Niagara Falls became known as the "King of Power".
-
The waterfalls of Niagara are an incredible force of nature, visited by millions of people from all over the world. However, very few people know the true power of Niagara's water, and how the electricity produced by Niagara Falls has shaped the course of the modern history of America and the world for over 100 years. From humble beginnings as Schoellkopf's hydraulic canal, to the mammoth construction of New York Power Authority's Robert Moses and Lewiston Generating Stations, learn about the incredible history of Niagara's hydroelectric power.
