The Northeast Region of Ohio

 This is my home region, originally it was home to the Iroquis Nation. After the Treaty of Greenville it became the Western reserve or firelands. The name firelands came because land in the area was given to Conneticut settlers who had been burned out by the British during the revolutionary war.

Lake Erie has had a significant impact on the region and the ports and canals allowed settlement and formed the region.

Canal Fulton features a chance to ride on a canal boat. There are two parks 1.1 miles apart. This is a great location to see how the canal worked. Besides the rides there is a second canal boat on display. The video in the visitors center does a great job setting up the visit.
