What is History of the Intracoastal Waterway about?

This document provides background information on the concept and early history of developing the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW). It discusses early proposals for a national system of inland waterways dating back to Thomas Jefferson. While a route along the Gulf Coast was proposed in the 1820s, it took over a century for Congress to authorize construction due to other priorities, a lack of a clear federal waterway policy, and competition from growing railroads.
