The Niagara Falls National Heritage Area (NFNHA) is one of 49 federally designated heritage areas in the United States. The NFNHA was created through an act of Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush on May 8, 2008 as part of the Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-229). This designation recognizes the national importance of the region’s natural, scenic, cultural and historic resources. Located along the New York side of the lower reaches of the Niagara River, the heritage area includes the City of Niagara Falls, the Village of Lewiston, the Village of Youngstown, and westernmost portions of the Towns of Lewiston and Porter. In addition, any thematically related sites within the New York counties of Erie and Niagara may be recognized as part of the heritage area. A federal commission has been chartered and seated to prepare a management plan for the heritage area.
