The Historic Village of Wilson
On The Shores of Lake Ontario
Welcome to the Historic Village of Wilson. The Village of Wilson, the only incorporated village in Niagara County was incorporated on May 11, 1858, and is located on the Shores of Lake Ontario between the Towns of Porter to the west and Newfane to the east.
It is approximately 18 miles from the County seat at the City of Lockport and similar distance from the Lewiston/Queenston Bridge linking Niagara County to Canada. Cultural assets include the Wilson Free Library and the Wilson Historical Society Museum complex.
One of the ways the Village of Wilson benefits from the moderate climate of the region is the abundance of locally grown produce available. The geographic orientation of Niagara County to Lake Ontario produces conditions favorable to the cultivation of tree-born fruits, grapes, and a variety of row cropped foodstuffs suitable for fresh consumption and preserving alike.
Village of Wilson Residents,
Over the last decade, we’ve all felt the impact of stronger lake winds, heavier storms, and unpredictable shoreline flooding. As your Mayor, one of my priorities is ensuring our village remains a safe, resilient place to live.
We are putting together a plan to handle severe weather, but it only works if it reflects your real-life experiences. We’ve created a short survey to ask about the challenges you’ve faced and the solutions that make sense to you.
By participating, you help us focus on practical steps—like improving drainage and making homes more storm-ready—while ensuring Wilson stays self-reliant. Whether it's protecting our local businesses or our way of life, your voice matters.
This isn’t about politics—it’s about smart preparation that saves taxpayer dollars and protects our homes.
