But why? The historic happening was caused due to the ice blockages resulted in the rivers surrounding the tourist attraction.
"Niagara Falls Runs Dry Day" commemorates 1848, the period when Lake Erie’s ice progressively melted following a harsh winter.
Interestingly, Niagara Falls is likely around 12,000 years old. And even around the 19th century, it had been a prime spot for tourists.
To the unvsersed, the water resource is located between the province of Ontario in Canada and the state of New York in the United States.
