A report on Fort Edward (village), New York, Fort Edward (town), New York and Champlain Canal

The municipal center complex is on U.S. Route 4 between the villages of Hudson Falls and Fort Edward.

The village is part of the town of Fort Edward, which contains the county seat of Washington County just north of the village limits.

By 1818, 12 mi were completed, and in 1819 the canal was opened from Fort Edward to Lake Champlain.

The canal follows the Hudson River north for approximately 35 mi, with six locks providing navigation around dams on the Hudson River, until it reaches lock C-7 in Fort Edward, New York.

The completion of the Champlain Canal, in 1823, linked the areas to the north and south, and replaced a smaller canal that bypassed local rapids.
