Deep dives
The History of Love Canal
Love Canal was initially envisioned as a model city by William T. Love in the 1890s. The plan was to divert part of the Niagara River to power an electro-hydroelectric plant and a neighborhood named 'Model City.' However, economic downturns and Nikola Tesla's long-distance electrical transmission idea led to the abandonment of the project.
