Remarques: Views of locks 17 & 18 on the enlarged Erie Canal constructed between 1837 and 1842. Lock 18 is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Work on the Erie Canal began in 1817. It was officially opened in 1825. Just 11 years later, in 1836, work on the canal began again, this time with an eye to enlarging it. Nineteen of the locks were concentrated in Cohoes and the surrounding area. What had once been a rural community was able to develop into a bustling industrial city largely because of abundant water power and the relative ease of shipping raw materials in and finished products out, thanks to the canal system in place.
