Niagara Falls, ON: Drummondville, Lundy's Lane

Drummondville is a neighborhood centered around Main & Ferry Streets, west of the Clifton Hill tourist neighborhood. Drummondville was named after Sir Gordon Drummond, Major General of British Army who lead the defense of Lundy's Lane in the Battle of Lundy's Lane on July 25, 1814. The battle occurred when American forces heading north along the Portage Road were met by British forces holding a hill on Lundy's Lane, a side road.

Drummondville was incorporated in 1882 as the Village of Niagara Falls, which was next to the Town of Niagara Falls. The village and town merged in 1904 and became the City of Niagara Falls.


The wall of the cemetery, along Lundy's Lane, is decorated with panels depicting battle scenes.



The panels were placed on the wall in 2004 to commemorate the 190th anniverary of the battle.



The Battle of Lundy's Lane Monument, on the top of Drummond Hill in Drummond Hill Cemetery. The monument was dedicated in 1895 and marks the grave of 22 British soldiers.



A centennial memorial is located near the Battle of Lundy's Lane Monument, and was dedicated in 1914, 100 years after the battle.



"Holding The High Ground", in Drummond Hill Cemetery. The statue depicts Sir Gordon Drummond, who led British troops to victory in the Battle of Lundy's Lane by holding his position on this hill. His victory in the battle ended the Americans' offensive in Upper Canada. The statue was dedicated in 1989.

I don't think I have ever seen regular neighborhoods in Niagara Falls. Just the tourist section & actual falls. Very interesting to see.

I've covered quite a few regular neighborhoods in both Niagara Falls, on the American side and Canadian side. I'll have to go back and look for links to other phototours.
