NCCC was created in 1962 and took its name from the County of
Niagara, its local sponsor. The original campus was located in
downtown Niagara Falls and its main building was the former Nabisco
Shredded Wheat plant. The current campus, which opened in 1973, is
an example of sound planning. Approximately 5,000 students are
enrolled in credit programs and thousands more take advantage
annually of the College's extensive credit-free courses, short-term
vocational programs, online education, and cultural and events.
