Little Falls ny Wedding

Little Falls is a city in Herkimer County, New York, on the Mohawk River. The population was 5,188 at the 2000 census. The name is derived from a small cataract near the city.

The City of Little Falls is located at the eastern end of the Town of Little Falls. The Erie Canal passes the city.

It has a picturesque location on the slope of a narrow and rocky defile, flowing through which the river falls 45 feet (13 m) in less than a mile (1.6 km), forming a number of cascades.

Little Falls was settled in the 18th Century. The small settlement here was destroyed by the Indians and Tories in June, 1782, and the place was not resettled until 1790 and was known at times as "Rockton" and "Rock City." Little Falls was incorporated as a village in 1811, and reincorporated in 1827. The City of Little Falls was incorporated in 1895.

The Western Inland Canal (early attempt of the Erie Canal) was constructed in 1792 and helped the local economy.
