ديويت كلنتون DeWitt Clinton (2 مارس 1769 – 11 فبراير 1828) كان سياسياً أمريكياً مبكراً وعالم طبيعة وعمل سناتور أمريكي وكان سادس حاكم لولاية نيويورك. وأثناء عمله بذلك المنصب، كان المسئول عن إنشاء قناة إيري.[1] Clinton was the leader of New York's People’s Party and was a major rival of مارتن ڤان بيورن, who was the Attorney General of New York during Clinton's governorship. Clinton believed that infrastructure improvements could transform American life, drive economic growth, and encourage political participation, and he heavily influenced the development of the New York State and the United States.[2]

قناة إيري
أثناء عمله حاكماً، كان كلنتون مسئولاً لحد كبير عن إنشاء قناة إيري. فقد أقنعه المنادي بإنشاء القناة جسي هولي لأن يدعم إنشاء قناة من الساحل الشرقي لـبحيرة إيري إلى أعالي نهر هدسن. Many thought the project was impracticable, and opponents mocked it as "DeWitt's Ditch".[3] But in 1817, he got the legislature to appropriate $7,000,000 for construction. When the Canal was finished in 1825, Governor Clinton opened it, sailing in the packet boat Seneca Chief along the Canal into Buffalo. After sailing from the mouth of Lake Erie to New York City he emptied two casks of water from Lake Erie into New York Harbor, celebrating the first connection of waters from East to West. The Canal was an immense success, carrying huge amounts of passenger and freight traffic. The cost of freight between Buffalo and Albany fell from $100 to $10 per ton, and the state was able to quickly recoup the funds it spent on the project through tolls along the canal. The completion of the canal brought about a significant shift in public opinion on Clinton, who was now hailed for completing the canal. This change in public opinion was reflected in the newspapers of the time. Previously being filled with harsh criticisms of Clinton and the canal, they now celebrated his accomplishment. For example, an article in the New Hampshire Sentinel began saying, “The efforts of Gov. Clinton to advance the best interest of the State over which he presides are very generally acknowledged both by his constituents and the public abroad. His exertions in favor of the great Canal have identified his name with that noble enterprise, and he will be remembered while its benefits are experienced,” and ended with “Yield credit to Clinton, and hail him by name".
