Marietta

The landscape around Marietta is defined by the meeting of the Ohio and Muskingum rivers, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. Founded in 1788 by the Ohio Company of Associates, it is regarded as the first permanent U.S. settlement in the Northwest Territory. The Campus Martius Museum stands on the site of the original fortified settlement and documents that formative chapter of American westward expansion. Nearby, Mound Cemetery preserves Conus Mound, an ancient burial mound that recalls the river valley's inhabitants long before 1788.
