Abstract
Description
When the Morris canal was finished in 1836, barges were towed by mules the 102 miles between Jersey City and Phillipsburg on the Delaware River in five days. Waterloo Village was the halfway point of the Morris Canal which ran from Jersey City to Phillipsburg. It was a popular overnight stop along the route from New York to Pennsylvania.
To accommodate the canal workers a small city was built with an inn, general store, church, blacksmith�s shop and watermill.
