Interesting that you should mention these two, since they aren't Iroquois cities at all. Mauch Chunk is a Delaware town. Centralia is a white man's town (founded by George Washington!), the natives in the area were the Chehalis.

There was never a town called Niagara Falls. Originally, the Neutrals lived there, before the Iroquois trampled them in 1651. There was also a white man's fort that IIRC was eventually taken by the Iroquois, but they never settled there. Much later a Tuscarora reservation was opened nearby so it can be on the Iroquois city list, but much lower.

Firaxis did a terrible job on the Iroquois city and leader lists. For instance: Salamanca was never their capital, that always was and still is Onondaga.

If you want to find the locations of the Iroquois towns, all you need is a good map, you can still find many of them.

The link that Stonewall supplies above is a good one.

Quote:
At its maximum in 1680, the Iroquois empire extended west from the north shore of Chesapeake Bay through Kentucky to the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers; then north following the Illinois River to the south end of Lake Michigan; east across all of lower Michigan, southern Ontario and adjacent parts of southwestern Quebec; and finally south through northern New England west of the Connecticut River through the Hudson and upper Delaware Valleys across Pennsylvania back to the Chesapeake.
Note, however, that they didn't settle everywhere, much of the conquered land was used only as hunting grounds to support the Fur trade.

Here is the city list that I use for the Iroquois civilization:

Onondaga (Onondaga)
Oneida (Oneida)
Teyagon (at Toronto) (Seneca)
Ganaraske (at Port Hope) (Cayuga)
Akwesasne (=Saint Regis) (Mohawk)
Canienga (Canienga=Mohawk)
Ogdensburgh (=Oswegatchie) (Onondaga / Oneida)
Caughnawaga (Mohawk)
Cattaraugus (Seneca)
Kente (Cayuga)

Gandesetaiagon (=Oshawa) (Seneca)
Tiohero (Cayuga)
Niagara Falls (Tuscarora)
Tonawanda (Seneca)
Owego (Cayuga)
Kanagaro (Mohawk)
Opolopong (Oneida)
Grand River (Seneca)
Deseroken (Onondaga)
Allegany (Seneca)

Salamanca (=Bucktooth) (Seneca)
Tuscarora (Tuscarora)
Saratoga (Mohawk)
Geneseo (Seneca)
Chondote (Cayuga)
Tyendinaga (=Brantville) (Mohawk)
Tueadasso (Onondaga)
Buckaloon (Seneca)
Onnontare (Cayuga)
Skohare (Mohawk)

Catherine's Town (Seneca)
Ganogeh (Cayuga)
Lac des Deux Montagnes (near Oka) (Mohawk)
Skannayutenate (Cayuga)
Oriska (Oneida)
Canajoharie (Mohawk)
Oil Springs (Seneca)
Gannentaha (Onondaga)
Buffalo Creek (Seneca)
Neodakheat (Cayuga)

Cowassalong (Oneida)
Union Springs (Cayuga)
Venango (Seneca)
Nowadaga (Mohawk)
Chemung (Seneca)
Osquake (Mohawk)
Cittenango (Oneida)
Gadoquat (Onondaga)
Onnahee (Seneca)
Mingo Town (all)

Did the Iroquois live in cities? I thought they didn't have permanent settlements, they just migrated frequently to follow the hunted animals.

The Iroquois lived in towns of up to several thousands of citizens, comparable in size to most European towns at the time. Their wooden longhouses were good for 20-30 years, and they had the technology to keep the soil fertile for that long. They would typically move between a limited number of good sites, keeping the name of the town.

Their main source of food was agriculture, not hunting, so there was no great need to follow any herds. Also, as they lived in the woodlands, they hunted beaver and deer rather than the buffalo.
In summertime, groups of Iroquois men would form hunting parties, staying away for months. But they also had a lot of other activities such as fishing and playing Lacrosse.

Yes, the Wyandot were also farmers rather than hunters (formerly located in the Ohio/Michigan region). I've tried researching some city/town/settlement names of former Wyandot sites...but to no avail so far.

EDIT: Found one! (Inside the above posted link):
Quote:
Its first council fire was at the Shawnee village of Waketomica. After Waketomica was burned by the Americans in 1786, it moved to Brownstown, a Wyandot village south of Detroit.

Most of these cities are in New York state or northern PA. I was surprised they didn't include Gonondagan (near present Victor NY), which was the Ir. "capital" until 1687 and the Marquis de Denonville, Governor General of New France, crossed Lake Ontario with some troops, landed in present day Irondequoit Bay and then marched south (the trail they took is less than 1/4 mile from my house). The French burned Gonondagan to punish the Ir. for interfering in the fur trade. Several towns and land features within a 30 minute drive from where I sit have their names from the Iroquois.

'Gonondogan' is a faulty spelling of Onondaga.

Ah, YOU spelled it wrong.

The history part on that site seems a little off. The Seneca were the LAST to join, the Onondaga were the first.

Ganondaga, then known as Gannagaro or Kanagaro, was a principal Seneca town for several decades.
Probably two villages close together.

It was never the Iroquois capital.

I have a Mohawk town of the same name on my list but that one is in mid-west NY. Would be confusing to have two towns with the same name, hard to say which one was more important!

By the way, the Iroquois took revenge the next year by plundering Montreal.

Edit: that second town was also burnt to the ground by the French, 20 years earlier. Nasty barbarians, those French.
