Canton History

The Canton Company and the Clinton Street Development

From 1828 until now, Canton was about the Canton Company that orchestrated the development of successful industries that graced its shoreline.

Canton at the beginning contained itself around a central area just east of Harris Creek (buried now under the Safeway parking lot) and ending around Clinton Street. It was here in the manufacturing district that we would find the Oyster industry, the canning and packing industry,the Cooper iron company,the smokestack industries and to the north breweries. 1828-1878 was the timing of this development.

The Canton Company was privately owned,but had been given a major boost from a State Charter that literally gave the Company the right to build and develop just about what it needed to be successful with the 3000 acres from the Captain O'Donnell Estate.

The Canton Company,right from the start,was being successfully traded as a stock on Wall Street because of speculation arising from the coming of the B&O railroad and lots of land lying close to deep water.Perhaps,the most important thing it did early was to build streets and houses to provide a community of workers that lasted for decades.

If you look at the map,the top part represents the central area of Canton and later would be identified as Historic Canton.Just to the right of the map and going to the bottom of the map is an area that we called "going down Clinton Street".. It is here where major successful development took place from 1878 on that had to do with the building of piers and the Canton Waterfront Terminals and Canton Warehousing.This was made possible by the Canton Company purchasing 7000 additional acres from the Colgate Estate.

This was the beginning of Port Activity that would continue and flourish to this day. It also played a major part in the development of the Maryland Port Authority.

The Canton Company would build its own Union Railroad to be the connector line between the pier industry and the larger trunk railroads. The Pennsylvania Railroad already had been hauling coal from Pennsylvania to the Canton Piers and decided to invest heavy cash into the area,first by purchasing the Union Railroad and building additional piers for the developing Coal Industry.

In 1921,the Rukert Company came into this area and become a major player in building the Rukert Pier Terminals approaching now 100 years. The Rukert Development has now shifted many of its operations to the end of Clinton Street and eastward toward the Seagirt and Dundalk Terminals.. It is here where the cargo handling from the large container ships is having its greatest impact

The Maryland Port Authority has seen its Success because of these shifts and changes..The Clinton Street Development orchestrated by the Canton Company was a major reason for making this happen.

Expect more trees, new pavement and signals. Otherwise, the $6.3M rebuild of Key Highway-Light Street will look pretty much the same.

Very interesting history about a blighted block and history.

For more than a century, hundreds of people called this patch of East Baltimore home. Now the 900 block of North Bradford Street is about to be ripped down as a city with 17,000 boarded-up buildings lays waste to its blight and its history.
