In 1828, water from Seneca Lake was first released here into the newly constructed Cayuga-Seneca Canal, creating a navigable link to the Erie Canal. The waterway allowed commerce to move between Seneca and the Hudson River and soon became an economic engine that brought wealth and prosperity to the city of Geneva and other municipalities along its route. Eventually replaced by rail and truck transportation, the channel was abandoned in the 1920s and ultimately filled in.
