Zanesville

Built around the confluence of the Muskingum and Licking rivers, Zanesville grew into an eastern Ohio city shaped by river transport and clay-based manufacturing. The rivers meet beside the downtown Y-Bridge, an unusual three-way road bridge whose arms link the central district with the surrounding banks. Zanesville stood on the historic National Road, the first federally funded highway in the United States, which supported its role as an early-19th-century commercial centre. Local clay also sustained a major pottery trade; Zanesville Art Pottery began here in 1898. Today, the city’s compact riverfront core lies amid the rolling terrain of the Muskingum Valley.
