Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor

Several Syracuse banks sprouted here along the Erie Canal, each striving to benefit from the commerce of a fast growing city. When the first canal section opened here in 1820 the settlement had 60 people. By 1900 its population reached 108,000. Canal tolls, collected at weighlocks and toll stations, were deposited in banks like those shown in this 1912 panorama.
Today, water in Clinton Square reflects the importance of the Erie Canal in shaping the City of Syracuse. The Barge Canal opened in 1918. It used the Oneida and Seneca Rivers, about ten miles north of here, and bypassed the original Erie Canal through Syracuse. This section was closed, filled, and paved to become Erie Boulevard. Renovation of Clinton Square in 2001 exposed historic canal walls that remain visible today.
