The Eerie Canal was built by the state of New York. It is 363 miles long and was completed in 1825. It stretches from Buffalo to Albany New York connecting the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. It was the most important and profitable canal and made New York City the nation's largest port. Commerce was encouraged and people were then able to send things from the west side of the Appalachian Mountains to New York.
