The City of Canaan is also referred to locally by Falls Village. The following quote is taken from the City of Canaan's website:
"Once there was a dream that Falls Village would become an industrial mecca. It would be fueled with an abundance of hydropower thanks to miles of stone canals running along the Housatonic River at the great Falls. Those canals (along with much of Falls Village) were built up over the course of several years. In 1851, the canals finally opened."

Canaan in the Holy Bible is mentioned quite a few times. There is the land of Canaan which is a country West of the Jordan and Dead Sea. The Bible talks of how God gave this country to Abraham after he led them out of Egypt.
Canaan is also a son of Ham which is also spelled Kenaan.
Bible verse: Exodus 6:4 mentions the land God gave to Abraham.
