History
"High Falls" is the name that has been applied to this waterfall since the early 1990s, when the city government advanced that name at a time of redevelopment in that part of Rochester. "High Falls' is in common use by the public, and the name has been applied to other features such as a public park, businesses and others. The cataract had previously been known as Upper Falls, and had been given other names before that, but none are ever used today.
