Note 166 — Chapter XXXII · PASSAGE OF THE OHIO CANAL AND LAKE ERIE TO THE FALLS OF NIAGARA, FROM THE 21ST TO THE 30TH OF JUNE
Hannibal Evans Lloyd translation
Lockport, usually called Blake's Mills, was platted (1829) by two German proprietors above Lock No. 13.
Dover was principally settled (1807) by Pennsylvania Germans. When the canal passed through, Canal Dover became the official name of the town. At one time the village aspired to be county seat.—Ed.
