This map of Lancaster County shows canals and ferries. The first Pennsylvania canal was the Conewego Canal, built in 1797. The big surge in canal building in Pennsylvania and the United States came in the 1820's and lasted through the nineteenth century. Canal use declined significantly after 1901, but some canals continued operating until 1941.Collection
