The town of Indianapolis became the capital of Indiana that year, while the famous Erie Canal opened, granting passage from Albany, New York to Lake Erie. On the other side of the still unUnited land in-between that would eventually form the United States, Vancouver, Washington was established by Dr. John McLoughlin on behalf of the Hudson’s Bay Company. 100 years later, the US Mint would issue a Commemorative half dollar memorializing the anniversary of this event, with McLoughlin’s portrait on the obverse.
