Love Canal originated in 1894 as part of William T. Love's
dream
to build a model city and power canal. The neighborhood emerged in
the 1970s as an environmental nightmare and harbinger of the
worldwide hazardous waste crisis. Photographs in Love Canal tell
the story of the community's early development and the subsequent
use of the canal by Hooker Electrochemical Company to discard
industrial chemical waste from 1942 to 1953. In the late 1970s, the
seemingly dormant dump began to leak, and residents found
themselves in a slowly unfolding nightmare, learning that the waste
dumped in the canal decades before was not simply garbage but
actually a toxic brew of dangerous chemicals that were hazardous to
life, health, and property.
