In the beginning of the 19th century, the Ohio & Erie Canal opened up a passageway of growth for Ohio. In 1827 the price of wheat rose from ten cents to a dollar a bushel because of the canal. As the need arose, port towns began popping up along the river -- providing a place for supplies, entertainment, and rest, among other things. Canal Fulton, built in 1814, prospered as one of these port towns and to this day contains many relics from those times.
