North Tonawanda, NY is a city in Niagara County, NY that is a suburb to the north of Buffalo.  The city boasted a population of over 31,500 residents in the most recent 2010 census.  North Tonawanda has a total area of 10.9 square miles.  The city is named after Tonawanda Creek, its south border.

After the first settlers arrived in 1809, North Tonawanda became part of the town of Wheatfield, New York in Niagara County, from May 1836. Oral history claims a dispute between merchants was the cause, but the combination of communities in two counties and two towns was unwieldy. After becoming a village on May 8, 1865, still in the Town of Wheatfield,  North Tonawanda was incorporated as a City on April 24, 1897.  North Tonawanda is known as “The Lumber City,” because it was from the mid-19th century through the 1970s, a lumber transportation and forwarding center of significance because of the ready availability of lumber.
