August 15, 1914, marks the 100th anniversary of the official opening of the Panama Canal, the American-built waterway across the Isthmus of Panama that connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
In the early 1800s, most Americans moved themselves and their goods by water, rather than on the nationâs rough, limited roads. To extend the waterâs reach into the nationâs interior, they began decades of canal building. The Erie Canal was the nationâs most successful example. Built between 1817 and 1825 to link Lake Erie to the Hudson River and New York City, the canal brought together goods and people from across New York State and from the far reaches of the Great Lakes.
