The name Tonawanda as a location confuses even the people who live in other and even nearby Western New York communities.
The City of Tonawanda is on the northern edge of Erie County, New York, across Tonawanda Creek from Niagara County.
The Town of Tonawanda is also within Erie County and borders the Niagara River, Niagara County, and the City of Tonawanda.
The City of North Tonawanda is in the southern part of Niagara County along the Niagara River.
Tonawanda Island is part of the City of North Tonawanda.
Collectively, the three communities are called The Tonawandas, and the Tonawanda Creek, a tributary of the Niagara River, flows through this region. Further, "The Twin Cities" refers to North Tonawanda and [City of] Tonawanda.
Also, because the Village of Kenmore lies within the Town of Tonawanda, any association that involves both entities uses the name "Ken-Ton."
