The Morris Canal stretched from Phillipsburg on the Delaware River at its western end to Jersey City on the Hudson River at its eastern end. In Newark it was completed in the year 1831, the canal was extended eastward between 1834 and 1836. It greatly facilitated the transportation of anthracite coal from Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley to northern New Jersey's growing iron industry and other developing industries. It also carried iron ore westward through New Jersey to iron furnaces, until the development of Great Lakes iron ore caused them to decline. Although it was largely dismantled in the following years, portions of the canal and its accompanying feeders and ponds are preserved in places across northern New Jersey.
