Books: by Title: Lockport

A first-of-a-kind look at a community that played a vital role in U.S. history.

Here, the Erie Canal climbed the Niagara Falls escarpment and opened up the Great Lakes to East Coast commerce.

The revolutionary achievement fueled the early industrialization of Lockport.

More than 250 vintage photos, nostalgic ads and other images help to tell the tale of a city that was at the forefront of technological innovation.

Even many local residents may not be aware that the nation's first telegraph line was laid here.

The fire hydrant, the district heating system and the honeycomb automobile radiator were all invented here.

Even the first New York public school system was developed in Lockport.

Local historian Paulette Peca exhaustively researched a book that was selected for Arcadia Publishing's Images of America series.
