North Tonawanda is a city in Niagara County, New York, United States.

After the first settlers arrived in 1809, North Tonawanda became part of the town of Wheatfield, New York in Niagara County, from May 1836.

After becoming a village on May 8, 1865 ( still in the Town of Wheatfield, but as part of Martinsville, New York ), North Tonawanda was incorporated as a City on April 24, 1897.
