Erie Canal History
Report
The Erie Canal is an artificial inland waterway that extends from Lake Erie, at Buffalo, New York, to the Hudson River, near Albany, New York. The Erie Canal forms a branch of the New York State Canal System, a network of canals established in 1903. Plans for a waterway that would link the Great Lakes with the eastern seaboard were developed as early as 1783, but the projected waterway received little popular support.
