But the canal was soon in a race with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and got to Cumberland eight years after the railroad, a faster mode of transport, and at the cost of $ 77,041,586. It was never profitable. From its beginning to December 1876, the canal earned $ 35,659,055 in revenue, while expending $ 35,746,301. The canal provided an economic boost for Georgetown. In

The streets in Georgetown were renamed in 1895 to conform to

2080-700: The street names in use in Washington. In the 1850s, Georgetown had a large African American population, including both slaves and free blacks. Slave labor was widely used in construction of new buildings in Washington, in addition, to provide labor on tobacco plantations in Maryland and Virginia. Slave trading in Georgetown began in 1760 when John Beattie established his business on O Street and conducted business at other locations around Wisconsin Avenue. Other slave markets ("pens") were located in Georgetown, including one at McCandless' Tavern near M Street and Wisconsin Avenue. Slave trading continued until 1850, when it
