Prior to the building of the [http://www.eriecanal.org Erie Canal] the settlers in upstate New York were often from New England, especially Vermont. Once the Canal was finished, setters along the canal and farther west into Ohio would have reached the Erie Canal from New York City, or from along the Hudson River in New York, or from Vermont via the Champlain Canal. Most of the men who labored to build the Erie Canal were from Ireland and many of them settled near it. | Prior to the building of the [http://www.eriecanal.org Erie Canal] the settlers in upstate New York were often from New England, especially Vermont.
