Notes
  • Significance: The Ohio and Erie Canal, linking Lake Erie at Cleveland with the Ohio River at Portsmouth, Ohio, was completed in 1832. The 308-mile inland waterway laid the foundation for Ohio's agricultural, industrial, commercial, and political growth. That section of canal between Akron and Cleveland was the first to open in 1827 there, the rapid drop in elevation nearly 400 feet in 38 miles required the construction of 44 locks. The structures documented in this report are among the best preserved. Today, the Ohio and Erie Canal forms the principal historical feature of the Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area.
