The completion of the P. & O. canal marked two decades of a unique lifestyle that linked villages and provided a inexpensive means of transportation. Pippen Lake and Brady Lake provided the power needed for the Northeastern Ohio section of canal. The canal prompted a great deal of land speculation and development on the river's east bank, forming the beginning of what is today's Central Business District.
