Nestled by the banks of the St. Lawrence River, Massena has long established itself as the center for commercial, industrial, and manufacturing success in St. Lawrence County. Just as different waters from three different rivers run through it, since being incorporated in 1802, Massena has become home to a diverse community of people from a wide array of backgrounds. As the 21st century marches on, Massena is ready to welcome new businesses and create new opportunities all the time, growing as a tourist destination as well as a hotspot for development and trade.
