Symmes Park

Few communities in southern Ohio have a history as closely tied to the Ohio River as Symmes Park. Set beside the state boundary, it faces Huntington, West Virginia, across the broad river corridor. Huntington took shape after the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway reached the Ohio River in the 1870s, making the opposite bank part of an important chapter in Appalachian rail history. The river still carries commercial traffic, and the linked Ohio and West Virginia shores give the area a distinctly urban-riverfront character.
