Youngstown, NY

Youngstown is a quaint and historic village located in the Town of Porter where the Niagara River meets Lake Ontario. We are located just 11 miles north of Niagara Falls, New York along the Canadian border.

Youngstown is home to Old Fort Niagara and is one of the first settlements to grow outside of Fort Niagara in the late 1700's.The  waterfront parks are where the splendor of the Lower Niagara River can be seen up close. 

The village offers the very best of small town America. The annual Firemen's Field Days have been an anticipated event for nearly a century. Every Friday evening from June through August, Falkner Park, located in the heart of village, comes to life with a free concert series.

In the summer, Youngstown takes on a resort-like atmosphere as hundreds of yachts flock to the harbor for the Level Regatta, one of the largest freshwater sailing competitions in the world. We are also known for our world class fishing opportunities.

A wide variety of small, independently owned businesses line our main streets. Throughout our village, you will discover restaurants offering fresh home cooked comfort food to gourmet fare.

The village offers quaint accommodations for those who wish to extend their visit by a day and real estate services for those who want to stay a lifetime. Youngstown Flags are available for purchase! Pick up yours today for only $20.25 at Anchor Spirits.

Our History

Named after John Young, the Village of Youngstown was established in 1854. Standing on a bluff above Lake Ontario is Old Fort Niagara, one of our main attractions. This fort is a national historic landmark and has stood watch over our village since 1726. The colorful history of the site began even earlier, and continues to the present day. Old Fort Niagara played an important role in the struggles of France, Great Britain, and the United States to control the Great Lakes region of North America, and also helped shape the destinies of the Iroquois (Six Nations) people and the nation of Canada.

Old Fort Niagara has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Niagara area, featuring the oldest buildings in the Great Lakes, spectacular scenery, and exciting special events.Youngstown was the site of the Battle of La Belle Famille, one of the bloodiest and most decisive battles of the French and Indian War.
