== Biography ==
Dart was born at the Middle Haddam Historic District in the town of East Hampton, Connecticut in 1799. He came to Buffalo, New York, from Connecticut in 1821. There in the village of under 2,000 he went into the hat and fur business with Joseph Stocking. Dart learned to speak the Iroquois language to trade with the local Native Americans. Their store was at the corner of Main Street and Swan Street. It was strategically located and usually the first place a Native American would visit when they came to Buffalo. Chief Red Jacket visited frequently. Dart became known as a trusted businessman.〔 〕
The Erie Canal opened soon after he arrived in Buffalo and developed grain trading from local dealings into a multi-state industry. Since this was more lucrative it appealed to Dart as a businessman. Dart financed the building of the first steam-powered grain elevator in the world in 1842 that was designed by thirty year old mechanical engineer Robert Dunbar.〔 〕〔 〕 He built the grain elevator building, known as Dart's Elevator,〔 〕
in 1842 on the bank of the Buffalo river where it meets the Evans Ship Canal. The Bennett elevator was later built at this property site.〔 〕
