Augustus Porter along with his brother Peter Porter purchased the land near Niagara Falls, United States at a public auction in order to open a grist mill and tannery around 1805. Later, around 1847, the brothers attempted to interest investors to develop power from the water drop of the falls by developing a "hydraulic raceway" for both power and transportation.
