This report provides historical information about the Ohio and Erie Canal, including its origins, early surveys, construction, operation, and eventual decline. It examines the social, economic, and structural impacts of the canal. The construction of the Ohio and Erie Canal through the Cuyahoga Valley of Ohio in 1825-27 dramatically changed the activities of agriculture, economics, and communication in the region. The canal impacted life in the area through its construction and its operation. Secondary economic effects of the canal's presence were less dramatic but more far reaching, such as the urban development that occurred to handle the canal's commerce. Within the Cuyahoga Valley, subsistence farming was replaced by commercial farming.
