Lockport (Seneca: Jodö:sho:t) is both a city and the town that surrounds it in Niagara County, New York, United States. Lockport is a northern suburb of Buffalo. The city is the Niagara county seat; as of the 2020 census, Lockport had a population of 20,876. Its name derives from a set of locks (Lock Numbers 34 and 35) in the Erie Canal within the city that were built to allow canal barges to traverse the sixty-foot (18 m) natural drop of the Niagara Escarpment. It is part of the Buffalo–Niagara Falls metropolitan area.
