Tonawanda, N.Y., has the distinction of becoming the first town in the United States to exceed a population of 100,000 people -- it's always fun to live in a city that lays claim to a "first."
The town of Tonawanda is a northern suburb of Buffalo, N.Y., and contains the historic Village of Kenmore. Together, Kenmore and Tonawanda are often referred to by locals as Ken-Ton. Tonawanda owes its initial growth spurt to the construction of the Erie Canal in 1825. The town has taken full advantage ever since, with a strong industrial base and ability to attract business. The Erie Canal is on the north side of the town, and the Niagara River forms the western border. There is highway access with Interstate 190 running along the western edge of the town. You can easily get to Buffalo, only 10 miles south, and up to Niagara Falls, only 15 miles to the north. View Tonawanda City Guide
