The Erie Canal, completed in 1825, significantly boosted trade and commerce in New York by connecting the Hudson River to Lake Erie, facilitating the movement of goods between the Atlantic Ocean and the Great Lakes. This reduced transportation costs, allowing for the rapid development of cities along the canal, particularly Buffalo and Rochester. The canal also played a key role in the westward expansion of the United States, making it easier for settlers to transport agricultural products and supplies. Overall, it was instrumental in transforming New York into a major economic hub.
