    Plans to create a water connection between the Vistula and the Niemen date back to the second half of the 18th century. However, it was only the introduction of high customs duties by Prussia in 1821 for the transit of Polish and Lithuanian goods through their territory that forced this concept to be implemented. The initiative to build a large circular water artery was put forward in 1822 by the Minister of Treasury of the Kingdom of Poland, Franciszek Ksawery Drucki-Lubecki. Two teams, a Polish one led by Lieutenant Colonel Ignacy Prądzyński and a Russian one delegated by Prince Aleksander Württemberg, carried out leveling and geodetic measurements and route designs. In 1824, Tsar Alexander I decided to start the project and entrust it to the Polish side.
