Overlooking Joseph Ellicott's Role in Buffalo's Erie Canal Story
The Holland Land Company, which owned a significant portion of Western New York, played a crucial role in the development of the Erie Canal through its resident land agent, Joseph Ellicott.
Ellicott was a key figure in promoting the idea of moving the canal concept inland, which ultimately contributed to the canal's success.
Joseph Ellicott's idea was to have the canal turn for its final journey down the Mohawk and Hudson rivers to New York City.
To commemorate the Erie Canal bicentennial, events such as the Seneca Chief's journey and portrayals of Joseph Ellicott, like the one by Dennis Upton, are being held.
