Happy 122nd Birthday to the city of Niagara Falls, NY! - FTC Please leave a birthday wish for one thing that you hope for the city this year. The City of Niagara Falls was incorporated on March 17, 1892 from the villages of Manchester and Suspension Bridge, which were parts of the Town of Niagara. New York State Governor Roswell P. Flower signed a bill into law forming the city. Thomas Vincent Welch who was a member of the charter committee and then a New York state assemblyman, but more importantly a second-generation Irishman, was there when the bill was signed, and responsible for asking Governor Flower to sign the bill on St. Patricks Day. George W. Wright was elected the first mayor of Niagara Falls.
