It took 7 years of labor, slowly clawing shovels of earth from the ground in a 363-mile trek across the wilderness of New York State. Through the use of many references, this paper attempts to describe this remarkable construction project. Additionally, it describes the early operation of the canal and its impact on the daily life on or near the canal‘s winding path across the state.

    Ontario County Records and Archives Center A Guide for Family and Local History Research 3051 County Complex Drive Canandaigua, NY 14424 Telephone (585) 396-4376 1 ONTARIO COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF RECORDS, ARCHIVES, AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES (RAIMS) A New Department with an Old Mission Ontario County was created by the New York State legislature on January 27, 1789. Chapter 11, Laws of 1789, created Ontario County by dividing Montgomery County, itself the result of a recent division of the old colonial county of Tryon.1 Ontario County was the first county erected west of Seneca Lake and the Pre-emption Line. That survey line was done incorrectly in 1788 and had to be resurveyed in 1792. A line due north from 82nd mile marker on the New York-Pennsylvania border (just west of Elmira, NY), the Pre- Emption line terminated at Sodus Bay on Lake Ontario. The Preemption Line continues to figure prominently in many county documents and has been the source of many legal entanglements. In 1789, Ontario County included all of present-day New York west to Lake Erie and the Niagara River. However, the land west of the Genesee River could not be incorporated or settled until the Iroquois nations agreed to sell their interest at the Treaty of Big Tree in 1796. Until 1824, parts of Ontario County were separated and reconstituted as other counties. When that happened, copies of the records relevant to those new counties were made for the new County Clerks. However, the original records remain in Ontario County. Consequently, very early land, court and other records that pertain to many other counties can be found in the Ontario County archives.

This area, referred to as the Pnelps-Gorham Purchase, was developed by Oliver Phelps, a man of capital and enterprise, who organized the land into townships, created a village called Canandaigua in the center of the purchase, and helped finance the construction of transportation net- works from that place eastward.
