The canal connected the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. This connection made it much easier for ships to make it from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean, which made transport and shipping much faster.
The Erie Canal connected the Great Lakes and the interior of an undeveloped nation to the rivers leading to the cities of the East coast, primarily New York. This made shipping things like food, furs, etc. faster and cheaper than before.
The Erie Canal was the first water link that connected the East Coast seaports to the Great Lakes. It was opened in 1825, long before any railroads existed. Prior to the Canal, the only way to move goods to the upper Midwest bordering the Lakes, was by overland by cartage (expensive and very slow.)It connected the Hudson River near Albany NY, by water to Lake Erie near Buffalo NY.New York City, being at the mouth of the Hudson was the ideal freight transfer point for westbound freight. Thus the Port of New York grew veryrapidly after the opening of the Canal.
