The Belfast, NY Genesee River Dam was constructed as part of the feeder system to supply water to the Genesee Valley Canal.
"On April 5, 1849, (chapter 227) the $128,000 appropriated in 1847
(chapter 263), or as much as remained unexpended, was reappropriated
and in addition $120,000 was appropriated (chapter 229), to be
applied between the navigable canal at Mount Morris and the Genesee
feeder at or near Caneadea" (History of the Canal System of the State of NY; 1905 by Whitford)
