Step-by-step explanation:

Augustus S. Porter was an American merchant, judge, farmer, and politician who served in the New York Assembly.

In 1830, Porter was appointed recorder of Detroit, and in 1837, he was elected treasurer of the Michigan Pioneer Society. He was elected mayor of Detroit in 1838 and resigned in 1839 to run for the Unitedb States Senate. On March 14, 1839, Asher B. Bates succeeded him as mayor.

Judge Augustus Porter was the first European settler in what is now Niagara Falls, which was known as Manchester until 1840. He was a trailblazer and innovator in the promotion and development of the Niagara River's power, as well as in the things that have made our city great.
