Lockport, County seat on Erie Canal in Niagara County, New York State, United States.
Lockport stretches along the Niagara Escarpment, featuring a natural elevation drop of 60 feet that necessitated the construction of specialized canal locks.
The Erie Canal's arrival in 1824 led to the development of Lockport, with the completion of the Flight of Five Locks in 1825 marking a turning point.
Scottish and Irish immigrants who worked on the canal established strong communities, contributing to the development of local traditions and social structures.
The Canal Discovery Center, located near locks 34 and 35, provides educational programs and exhibits about the Erie Canal's engineering achievements.
The original Flight of Five Locks remains intact as a spillway next to modern locks E34 and E35, constructed in 1918.
