Quick Facts

History & Context

History Grand Island is a town located in Erie County, New York, USA. The island, which is approximately 17.5 miles (28.2 km) long and 3 miles (4.8 km) wide, is situated in the Niagara River, between the cities of Buffalo, New York, and Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. The area that is now Grand Island was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Seneca and the Tuscarora. The island was an important trading center for these tribes, as it was located at the junction of two major waterways, the Niagara River and the Erie Canal. In the early 1800s, the island was purchased by the Holland Land Company, which began to develop the island for agricultural purposes. The construction of the Erie Canal in the 1820s further increased the island's importance as a transportation hub, as it provided a direct link between the Great Lakes and the Hudson River.
