On July 4, 1825, construction of the Ohio-Erie Canal began with the turning of the first shovel of earth in the Buckeye Lake area. Completed in 1830, it formed the Licking Summit Reservoir, which became known as Buckeye Lake. To increase weekend business on its streetcars, the Columbus, Buckeye Lake and Newark Traction Company bought land at Buckeye Lake and built an amusement park, advertising it as "the Playground of Ohio." The Buckeye Lake Amusement Park and the Buckeye Lake Yacht Club on Watkins Island were very popular, and during the big band era, many visitors came to dance at the Crystal Pavilion and the Lake Breeze Pier Ballroom, which featured the sounds of Harry James, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Stan Kenton, Lawrence Welk, and Louis Armstrong.

reviewed Buckeye Lake, Ohio (Images of America Series) on April 22, 2017 Buckeye Lake, Ohio (Images of America Series)
My old home town. I love the Images of America series. Wish I had thought of it when I was getting a history degree. I especially loved this book because when I was in High School I volunteered with the Howard County Historical Society (based in Ellicott City) and I was in charge of filing and computerizing all the photos. Many of them I was seeing for the first time again but it was special handling the originals. It's unfortunate there were no photos regarding the trolley system and the the last day the trolley ran. It was an important part of the history and today the trolley lines are bike and walking trails.
