The long history of indoor and outdoor plumbing is fascinating. The first water system on the continent was pioneered during the late 1600s in Boston, followed by the creation of a piping system for New York City firefighters. Inventor, plumber, and businessman Thomas Crapper improved the toilette system with his many plumbing innovations championing the need for improved sanitation throughout Europe and North America. Let’s learn more with the 15-Minute History podcast.
