The potential of the Raritan River to provide waterpower for
industry was recognized early. In 1840, the success of similar
projects along the Passaic and Delaware Rivers prompted
the Somerville Water Power Company to begin building a
power canal along the north bank of the Raritan River.
Unlike some other canals in New Jersey, the Raritan Water
Power Canal did not transport goods and passengers, but
instead provided waterpower to mills. The Raritan Water
Power Canal was completed in 1842.
