In January 1863, he was appointed assistant district attorney of Erie County.

Cleveland then stayed out of politics until 1870 when, with the help of his friend, Oscar Folsom, he secured the Democratic nomination for sheriff of Erie County.

For this, and several other acts to safeguard the public funds, Cleveland's reputation as an honest politician began to spread beyond Erie County.

Erie County is a county located in the U. S. state of New York.

Erie County is part of the Buffalo – Niagara Falls Metropolitan Statistical Area.

The Erie Canal ( opened 1825 ) was chartered and owned by the state of New York and financed by bonds bought by private investors.

Assured of a market for their farm products the settlement of the U. S. mid-west was greatly accelerated by the Erie Canal.

The Erie Canal ( as well as other canals ) was instrumental in lowering the differences in commodity prices between these various markets across America.

Because much of this pollution drained into and affected Lake Erie, the lake itself was considered " dead " and unable to support aquatic life.

Lake Erie is the shallowest of the Great Lakes because the ice was so thin and lacked erosion power when it reached that far south.

It was deeper than the current Lake Erie, so its shoreline existed about eight miles ( 13 km ) inland from the modern one.

For decades after those wars, the land around eastern Lake Erie was claimed and utilized by the Iroquois as a hunting ground.

The steamship Walk in Water, built in Buffalo, was the first steamship on Lake Erie.

In 1669, the Frenchman Louis Jolliet was the first documented European to sight Lake Erie, although there is speculation that Étienne Brûlé may have come across it in 1615.

Lake Erie was the last of the Great Lakes to be explored by Europeans, since the Iroquois who occupied the Niagara River area were in conflict with the French, and they did not allow explorers or traders to pass through.

Since slavery had been abolished in Canada in 1833, but was still legal in southern states of the U. S., a Lake Erie crossing was sometimes required for fugitive slaves seeking freedom:

The concept was quickly seen as successful, and was expanded to other railroads operating out of Chicago, including the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, Chicago and Rock Island, Pennsylvania and the Erie.

It should be said, however, that by the turn of the 20th Century the Erie Canal had already been largely supplanted by the railroads, and that the economic decline of Upstate New York was precipitated by numerous factors, only some of which had to do with the St. Lawrence Seaway.

The canal's purpose was to connect the city of Cincinnati to Lake Erie because at that time no highways existed in the state and it was thus very difficult for goods produced locally to reach the larger markets east of the Appalachian Mountains.

An almost bloodless conflict between Ohio and the Michigan Territory, called the Toledo War ( 1835 – 1836 ), was " fought " over a narrow strip of land from the Indiana border to Lake Erie, now containing the city and the suburbs of Sylvania and Oregon.

Note that the southern tip of Lake Michigan is depicted as being farther north than Lake Erie. At the time, the actual location of this extreme was unknown.

This meant that the entire shoreline of Lake Erie west of Pennsylvania would have belonged to the state that was to become Ohio.

When Congress passed the Enabling Act of 1802, which authorized Ohio to begin the process of becoming a U. S. state, the language defining Ohio's northern boundary differed slightly from that used in the Northwest Ordinance: the border was to be " an east and west line drawn through the southern extreme of Lake Michigan, running east ... until it shall intersect Lake Erie or the territorial line Canada ; thence with the same, through Lake Erie to the Pennsylvania line aforesaid.

Because the territorial boundary line between the U. S. and Canada ran through the middle of Lake Erie and then up the Detroit River, combined with the prevailing belief regarding the location of the southern tip of Lake Michigan, the framers of the 1802 Ohio Constitution believed it was the intent of Congress that Ohio's northern boundary should certainly be north of the mouth of the Maumee River, and possibly even of the Detroit River.

Thus, it was possible that an east-west line extending east from Lake Michigan's southern tip may have intersected Lake Erie somewhere east of Maumee Bay, or worse, may not have intersected the lake at all ; the farther south that Lake Michigan actually extended, the more land Ohio would lose, perhaps even the entire Lake Erie shoreline west of Pennsylvania.
