The Erie Canal is a man made waterway from Albany, NY to Lake Erie. It was funded by Dewitt Clinton and took eight years to build. It was completed on October 26, 1825. The Erie Canal brought down the costs of shipping goods from the Midwest to New York, making New York City the busiest US port city.
