New Bremen once stood at the end of a growing canal. The town's canal marker tells how work continued north from here. The Miami Extension Canal began in 1833. Hard building work, disease, and the Panic of 1837 held it back. In June 1845, the packet boat Banner made the full trip. It traveled almost 250 miles from Cincinnati to Toledo in three days.
New Bremen was about halfway along that route. The waterway took the name Miami & Erie Canal in 1849. It carried trade, military transport, and mail before the railroad era. The canal stayed in use until 1913. The marker stands at West Monroe Street and South Washington Street. Find those printed names on the map to place this part of town's story.
