Portage Road, constructed on an old Indian trail, was used to transport goods around the falls from the Lewiston Landing to Fort Schlosser on the upper river. It held the key to governing the entire Great Lakes area and the Mississippi-Ohio valleys. The portage was controlled first by the Neuter and Seneca Indians, then successively by the French English and Americans.
