WELCOME TO TOWN OF PORTER 2019-2020 Events All Year Long Steeped in History Quality of Life EARLY YOUNGSTOWN Youngstown, situated on the Niagara River at Lake Ontario, grew because of its key location on the wa- ter routes between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean. Although its location next to Fort Niagara made it part of the Pre-Revolutionary history of the U.S., it was not settled by colonials until the early 1800’s. Most of the business establishments at that time were those related to inn-keeping and dry goods. John Young, a Canadian businessman, purchased most of what is now the Village from N.Y. State, and in 1808 it was named Youngstown. During the War of 1812, the Village was completely burned in retaliation by the Canadians for the United States’ burning of the Niagara-On-The-Lake. By 1823, the Village had rebuilt but there were still not more than a dozen frame houses along the Main Street. There was the one “red store” owned by John Young, and a wagon shop, a blacksmith shop, a post office and three taverns. YOUNGSTOWN TODAY Still benefiting from its proximity to Lake Ontario, the Niagara River and Fort Niagara, Youngstown has a thriving waterfront and a unique and attractive business district. With boat launching facilities and a few array of marine services, Water Street serves as the gateway to some of the best sailing, boating and fishing waters in the Northeast. Main Street features snack shops and restaurants to suit every palate, with Lockport Street offering a modern shopping plaza. A little further from the business center, farm markets with fresh grown pro- duce abound. Three State Parks provide visitors to Youngstown with ample swimming, camping, picnicking, hiking, cross-country skiing and sledding opportunities. Living up to its motto, Youngstown is truly “YOUNG IN SPIRIT, AGELESS IN PRIDE.” YOUNGSTOWN BUSINESS & PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION ~ Incorporated In 1976 ~ MAY-SEPT Ransomville Speedway - "The Big R" every Friday night stock car racing / weather permitting - Check Facebook for updates may-deC Niagara Jet adventures, daily Jet Boat adventures MAY 10-19 Lake Ontario Counties (LOC) Spring Trout and Salmon Fishing derby may 11 Nancy Price 5K Race and Walk may 25-26 • Old Fort Niagara - Soldiers through the ages may 27 • memorial day – VFW Post 313 dedication Ceremony 11am - Fort Niagara Cemetery JUNe 7-9 • 10 mile Garage and Sidewalk Sale JUNe 8 • youngstown Garden Club annual Plant Sale – Red Brick Community Center • Ransomville Country Fair • Ransomville Flag day event JUNe 10 • Friends of the Library Bandana's Bar & Grill Fundraiser JUNe 20 • yBPa’s’ 10th annual “Beginning of Summer” Street dance: 6-10pm – youngstown “comes alive” with Carl motyka Band, bounce house, pony rides, clowns, free beach balls & popcorn, ice cream, local vendors, food, and fun - “a T aste of youngstown” on main St. & The Classic Car Show – on Hinman St. (RaIN OR SHINe)!

EARLY YOUNGSTOWN Youngstown, situated on the Niagara River at Lake Ontario, grew because of its key location on the wa-ter routes between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean. Although its location next to Fort Niagara made it part of the Pre-Revolutionary history of the U.S., it was not settled by colonials until the early 1800’s. Most of the business establishments at that time were those related to inn-keeping and dry goods. John Young, a Canadian businessman, purchased most of what is now the Village from N.Y. State, and in 1808 it was named Youngstown. During the War of 1812, the Village was completely burned in retaliation by the Canadians for the United States’ burning of the Niagara-On-The-Lake. By 1823, the Village had rebuilt but there were still not more than a dozen frame houses along the Main Street. There was the one “red store” owned by John Young, and a wagon shop, a blacksmith shop, a post office and three taverns.

YOUNGSTOWN TODAY Still benefiting from its proximity to Lake Ontario, the Niagara River and Fort Niagara, Youngstown has a thriving waterfront and a unique and attractive business district. With boat launching facilities and a few array of marine services, Water Street serves as the gateway to some of the best sailing, boating and fishing waters in the Northeast.

Main Street features snack shops and restaurants to suit every palate, with Lockport Street offering a modern shopping plaza. A little further from the business center, farm markets with fresh grown pro-duce abound.

Three State Parks provide visitors to Youngstown with ample swimming, camping, picnicking, hiking, cross-country skiing and sledding opportunities.

Living up to its motto, Youngstown is truly “YOUNG IN SPIRIT, AGELESS IN PRIDE.”

Welcome to the Town of Porter

The Town of Porter was established in 1812 by an act of the New York State Legislature on land in Niagara Country that was part of an area

known as Cambria. The town was named in honor of Judge Augustus Porter, a member of one of the leading families in Niagara County

and the first Judge of the County.

The Town of Porter includes the Hamlet of Ransomville, NY at the eastern border, and the village of Youngstown, Old Fort Niagara and the Niagara River on the

western border, with Lake Ontario on the northern border.

The Town of Porter is an area rich in historical heritage, farming and agriculture traditions. In addition to sailing and recreational boating,

it is home to many small businesses and enterprises, as well as being the western most point of the ever growing

Niagara Wine Trail, USA.
