LOST Canals of New Jersey – The Story of Morris & Delaware and Raritan Canals

History Documentaries

The Morris Canal and the later Delaware and Raritan Canal both contributed greatly to New Jersey’s economic advancements and the development of many smaller settlements. As two key pieces in the transportation industry, they served to connect the two states together and each boasted several unique qualities not found in any other canals of their time. However, after being closed down in the early 20th century, much of the rich history that surrounds them both has been largely forgotten and their achievements and accolades lost to the modern time.
