Holyoke canal system was conceived and built to utilize the water
power that could be generated by the Connecticut River. A dam was
built where the origional falls were located. The canals were dug
to make use of the natural topography of the area. They consisted
of the first, second and third level canals. Water was let in to
the water wheels on the third level canal and exited into the
second level canal. The water from the second level canal was
directed into the first level canal. Water from the first level
canal entered flumes that exited to the Connecticut River. As a
result of the canal system Holyoke became the first planed
industrial city in the United States and was know as "The Paper
City" of the world.
