Pennsylvania & Ohio Canal

Canal building between 1825 and 1848 opened Ohio to new markets and new settlers. The settlers cleared the land and harvested bountiful crops with no efficient, economical way of transporting the produce, lumber, and goods to markets in the east. For 25 years the canals were the principal means of moving people and freight in Ohio. The canals reached the height of their influence between 1827 and 1850.
