Erie Canal’s Vast Impact on New York and Trade
The piece recounts how the Erie Canal, championed by Gov. De Witt Clinton, transformed New York City’s commerce and shifted trade from Philadelphia to New York. It traces planning from 17th century Mohawk works to the 1825 canal completion, with flotillas, celebrations, and water from Lake Erie poured into Buffalo Harbor. It notes railroads later eroded canal freight, slowing boat building and altering regional economies.
