Welland, City in Regional Municipality of Niagara, Canada
Welland stretches along both sides of the Welland Canal and Welland River, forming a central transportation junction in southern Ontario's Niagara region.
The settlement began in 1788 when United Empire Loyalists received land grants from the Crown as compensation for properties abandoned during the American Revolutionary War.
The city maintains strong connections to its maritime heritage through annual canal events, farmers markets, and community festivals that gather local residents.
Residents access municipal services through Welland Civic Square, which centralizes administrative offices, council chambers, and public library facilities under one roof.
The intersection of railways and waterways earned Welland its municipal motto 'Where Rails and Water Meet,' reflecting its position as a transportation crossroads.
