Communities

In addition to the primary townsite of Niagara-on-the-Lake, the town also includes the neighborhoods of Glendale, Homer, McNab, Queenston, St. David's and Virgil.

Glendale is located near the junction of the QEW, Highway 405, and Highway 55, and adjacent to the Welland Canal. It is home to the Glendale campus of Niagara College.

Virgil is located just south-west of old town Niagara-on-the-Lake, where most of the tourism takes place, and has a large Mennonite community as well, who originally settled the area in the earlier part of the 20th century. While once a small village, there have been many changes to the town itself over the past decade, such as fast food restaurants, subdivisions, and retail chains. So Virgil houses two different banks, a few antique stores, a small number of gyms, as well as a large GM dealership.
