St Catharines, the largest city in Canada’s Niagara Region, is south of Toronto across Lake Ontario 12 miles from the international boundary with the USA along the Niagara River. It is at the northern end of the Welland Canal. The 2011 Census population was 131,400. With 1,000 acres of parks and gardens, St Catharines is officially “The Garden City.”
Manufacturing is the city’s primary economic sector. General Motors of Canada, the Canadian General Motors subsidiary, and TRW Automotive operate plants in the city though in recent years employment has shifted from manufacturing to services. St Catharines is on a telecommunications spine between Canada and the USA with several call centers operating in the city.
The first Welland Canal, constructed from 1824 to 1833, established St Catharines as the hub of commerce and industry for the Niagara Peninsula. St Catharines was important for abolitionist activity. The area became a place of refuge and rest and the terminal on the Underground Railroad for escaped slaves. By the mid-1850s the population was about 6000, 800 of whom were of African descent. St Catharines remains an important place in Black Canadian history. St Catharines incorporated as a town in 1845 and as a city in 1876.
The most defining feature of St Catharines is the Welland Canal, which runs 27 miles between the lakes, passing through the city. Four canal locks are within the city. The canal enables vessels to traverse the 326.5-foot gradient from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario.
