The river played a major role in the early development of Lawrenceburg. Westward moving settlers first came to the region in the late 1700s by flatboats on the Ohio River. Founded in 1802, the city quickly became a trading center for all of southeastern Indiana. The Whitewater Canal, which was built between 1836 and 1847, spanned a distance of seventy-six miles stretching northward from Lawrenceburg to Hagerstown, Indiana.
