Encyclopedic overview
North Tonawanda is a city in Niagara County, New York, United States. As of the 2020 census, North Tonawanda had a population of 30,496. It is part of the Buffalo-Niagara Falls metropolitan area. The city is named after Tonawanda Creek, its southern border.
Tonawanda in the Seneca language means "swift-running water". Tonawanda Creek, which flows into the Niagara River, once had large stretches of rapids (see Rapids, New York) until it was tamed with the construction of the Erie Canal.
