Marietta's history

Where the
rivers meet.

Founded in 1788 by settlers organized through the Ohio Company of Associates, Marietta was the first permanent American settlement in the Northwest Territory. Its location at the meeting of the Muskingum and Ohio rivers made it an important center for river trade.

Today, the riverfront, historic buildings, and local traditions remain part of everyday life. Sternwheelers visit the levee, and festivals bring the community downtown.
