The Erie Canal is a canal in New York that was completed in 1825. When completed, the canal was far longer than any canal in the United States at that time, as well as the second longest canal in the world (after the Grand Canal in China). The main purpose of the canal was to create a navigable route from New York City and the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes. The canal made trade and transportation a lot faster and cheaper than it had been in the past.
