The Canal that Split Connecticut in Half - Physically and Politically
Manage episode 316247719 series 3006693
When the Erie Canal was built in New York State, industrialists in Connecticut said, “We can do that too.” And so, work began on a large canal that would ultimately cut the state in half – both physically and politically. It pitted New Haven against Hartford. People have since largely forgotten about the 4-foot-deep canal, which connected Long Island Sound with Massachusetts in the 1800s. Follow along with Connecticut transportation expert Richard DeLuca for the amazing story of the Farmington Canal, once a full-fledged canal in Connecticut.
