There are probably more people who could give you more exact info on the Milan Canal, but I can answer your question. The Village of Milan is just north of the boundary between Erie and Huron Counties. The Milan Canal followed the Huron River from Lake Erie to Milan or from what is today the City of Huron to the Village of Milan. All roads in the area headed for Milan in the early days because the farmers hauled their crops to Milan to be shipped out of North Central Ohio over the lake to the Erie Canal and then to New York Harbor. Wether there was a reason other than distance that made Milan the best place to ship from is not know by me. Milan lost their advantage when the railroad took arrived about 1860.
