The Walhonding Canal met the Ohio & Erie Canal in Roscoe Village and ended in Rochester. The canal was 25 miles long, all within Coshocton County, with 12 locks. Construction began in 1836 and was completed 1842. Reporters labeled the canal as "25 miles to nowhere". The failure to construct the proposed extensions, and the newly developed railroad, eventually led to the demise of the canal in 1896.
