Orange Canal and Transit Company

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Orange Canal and Transit Company was a transit company of Florida.

Florida state law chapter 3823, which became a law in 1883 without the signature of the Governor, gave land grants to the company, which had built a canal connecting the waters of Tshala-popka lake in Hernando county with the Withlacoochee river, and opened that river by removing obstructions, and made thereby a route navigable by steamboats. It was also given the right to build dams with locks.
