Erie Canal
The Erie Canal is a canal in New York State, opened in 1825, that linked the Hudson River at Albany with Lake Erie at Buffalo, about 580 kilometres away. By cutting the cost of moving goods between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic, it opened the Midwest to settlement and trade and made New York City the leading port of the United States.
