you could transport goods faster and easier. cities with large rivers like New York became bigger because they could get the most.
Fulton did not invent the steamboat, he and his business partner Robert Livingston (from Clermont, NY) had the first commercially successful steamboat.
(John Fitch of Philadelphia created the first steam powered boat in 1787.)
More research needed:... the "Clermont" boat was named by residents of Clermont, NY after the death of Fulton. Fulton called the boat "North River Steamboat"
