Canal Street, Commercial street in Lower Manhattan, United States.
Canal Street stretches for more than a mile from East Broadway to West Street, connecting Jersey City through the Holland Tunnel to Brooklyn via Manhattan Bridge.
The street emerged in 1820 after covering a drainage canal that was built to manage water from the former Collect Pond, which had become contaminated by industrial waste.
The thoroughfare marks the boundaries between multiple districts, including Chinatown, SoHo, Little Italy, and Tribeca, reflecting the diverse heritage of Lower Manhattan.
Multiple subway stations and vendors line the street, offering access to various goods including jewelry, electronics, hardware, and clothing at competitive prices.
The Citizens Savings Bank building from the 1920s stands as an architectural landmark on this street, which also served as a boundary during the September 11 aftermath.
