Niagara Falls Online Gift Shop
Niagara Falls are huge waterfalls situated at the borderline between the Canadian State of Ontario and the American state of New York. The the origin of the word “Niagara” is disputed. Some say it comes from an Iroquoian Native American nation called “Niagagarega”. This nation appears on the maps of the French made in the 17th century.
The Falls became famous since the time of the first explorers: the French explorer Samuel de Champlain, Finnish-Swedish explorer Pehr Kalm, Belgian Louis Hannepin at the beginning of the 17th century.
At the beginning of the 19th century Napoleon Bonaparte’s brother, Jerome, came here with his bride. In 1837 a ship was sent over the Niagara Falls. The case went dowm in America’s history as the “Caroline case”.
The huge potential of the Falls caught the attention of many people who saw an opportunity to put Niagara to work in order to produce electric power. The first attempt to build an electric power complex was made in the 18th century. In the next two centuries Niagara Falls became one of the biggest producers of electric power in the world.
The fascination of the Niagara Falls attracts millions of tourists every year. Whether you actually go there or just see the pictures on the Internet, the fact is that everybody would like to take a little piece of this beauty home.
