The Ohio Canal | The Ohio Canal or Ohio and Erie Canal was a canal constructed in the 1820s and early 1830s. It connected Akron, Summit County, with the Cuyahoga River near its mouth on Lake Erie in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, and a few years later, with the Ohio River near Portsmouth, Scioto County, and then connections to other canal systems in Pennsylvania and Ohio. | ||
The canal carried freight traffic from 1827 to 1861, when the arrival of railroads killed the market. <ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_and_Erie_Canal Ohio and Erie Canal]</ref> | The canal carried freight traffic from 1827 to 1861, when the arrival of railroads killed the market. <ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_and_Erie_Canal Ohio and Erie Canal]</ref> | ||
