In the 1790's, flatboats left here with their cargoes for southern markets. To accommodate and store products, warehouses and wharfs were built along the river banks. This wharf, established in the 1800's, extended twenty feet out into the river. The foundations of two warehouses, built in the 1790's and the early 1800's, lie to the north and south of the wharf.
