7Title:  Ohio Board of Canal Commissioners Records, Series II     
 Creator:  Ohio Board of Canal Commissioners 
 Dates:  1825-1914

During construction of the Ohio and Erie Canal, each commissioner was responsible for certain sections of the canal, including hiring laborers, engineers, and building suppliers. In the 1830s, Commissioners continued to mange the completed waterway, employing toll collectors, maintenance laborers, and resident engineers. Commissioners also approved requests for water rights and were responsible for the canal's finances. The canal continued to operate until a flood in 1913 destroyed much of it.
