Visiting Lewiston

The Town of Lewiston was organized in 1818, originally controlled by the French, later by the British, and ultimately becoming a part of the United States.  Due to its position as the gateway to westward expansion, Lewiston figured prominently in our country's early development.

With Historic character, attractive neighborhoods, working farms and scenic vistas, the Town of Lewiston is an appealing location and contributes to an excellent quality of life for its residents.  Agriculture, development standards and community vision all strive to preserve and enhance the Town's rural character.  Orchards flourish in the unique microclimate created by the escarpment.  Lake Ontario and this bounty are enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.  Lewiston is the gateway to the Niagara Wine trail, with many of its vineyards supplying grapes for world-class wines.

Lewiston has a high quality recreational system that includes excellent parks, trails and programs including specialized programs for its Senior Citizens.  A strong, vibrant village hub is the focus of commercial, service and community cultural activities.  The Hamlet of Sanborn has these services on a smaller scale. 

Residents can choose from public or private educational institutions including the Lewiston-Porter and Niagara Wheatfield School Districts, Stella Niagara Educational Park, Sacred Heart Villa, St. Peter's R.C. School, Niagara University and Niagara County Community College.  Lewiston Libraries include Lewiston Public Library, Sanborn-Pekin Free Library and Ransomville Free Library.
