In 1823 the 60-mile (97 km) '''Champlain Canal''' in [[New York|New York State]] connected [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Champlain Lake Champlain] to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_River Hudson River] and thus [[New York City, New York|New York City]], as well as to the [[Erie Canal|Erie Canal]] and rural upstate [[New York]]. In 1843 Lake Champlain was also connected by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chambly_Canal Chambly Canal] in [[Quebec|Quebec]], [[Canada|Canada]] to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Lawrence_River Saint Lawrence River] and thence to the North Atlantic Ocean. As canals developed in America settlers were attracted to nearby communities because the canals provided access to markets. They could sell their products at distant markets, and buy products made far away. If an ancestor settled near a canal, you may be able to trace back to a place of origin on a connecting waterway. | In 1823 the 60-mile (97 km) '''Champlain Canal''' in [[New York|New York State]] connected [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Champlain Lake Champlain] to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_River Hudson River] and thus [[New York City, New York|New York City]], as well as to the [[Erie Canal|Erie Canal]] and rural upstate [[New York]].
