Regional Municipality of Niagara
Regional Municipality of Niagara, Regional municipality in Golden Horseshoe, Ontario, Canada
The Regional Municipality of Niagara spans 1,854 square kilometers between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, incorporating twelve distinct municipalities including St. Catharines and Niagara Falls.
Established in 1970, this administrative region emerged from the consolidation of multiple independent townships and cities to form a cohesive governing structure in Southern Ontario.
The region maintains a strong wine production heritage with numerous vineyards across its territory, particularly concentrated in Niagara-on-the-Lake and along the Niagara Escarpment.
The administrative headquarters in Thorold coordinates services and infrastructure development for nearly 450,000 residents across all twelve constituent municipalities.
The Welland Canal system crosses through the municipality, connecting Lake Ontario to Lake Erie with eight locks that enable ships to navigate the significant elevation change.
