Washington Canal (New Jersey)

Washington Canal (New Jersey)

The Washington Canal is a waterway connecting the South River with the Raritan River, bypassing several loops at the mouth of the former.

It was chartered in 1823 to shorten the distance from South River, New Jersey (then known as Washington) to the Raritan River to speed water transport. It was built about 1824–1825.
