Brief History of Niagara Region and Port Dalhousie:
Port Dalhousie is named after George Ramsay, 9th Earl of Dalhousie, Governor General of British North America. Dalhousie also gave his name to Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and to the town of Dalhousie, New Brunswick. The Niagara River and Falls were formed during the Ice Age, as melting glaciers carved a path from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, eventually flowing over the Niagara Escarpment.
