Attica & Covington Canal Skirmish

Industry
1
In fall 1846, residents of Covington and Attica skirmished at Lock 35 over the lack of water to Covington. Heavy rains eventually resolved the problem. Competition among canal towns over water control was often intense. The first boat reached Attica in 1846 via the Wabash and Erie Canal, which connected Lake Erie with the Ohio River in 1853.
