About Pittsburgh
Located in Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh is one of the oldest cities in the nation.
Moundsville is a city in and the county seat of Marshall County, West Virginia, United States, along the Ohio River. The population was 8,122 at the 2020 census. It is part of the Wheeling metropolitan area
Marietta is a city in and the county seat of Washington County, Ohio, United States.Located in southeastern Ohio at the mouth of the Muskingum River at its confluence with the Ohio River. It is the second-largest city in the Parkersburg–Marietta–Vienna, West Virginia–Ohio (part) Metropolitan Statistical Area with a population of 14,085 at the 2010 census.
It is the site of the prehistoric Marietta Earthworks, a Hopewell complex more than 1,500 years old, whose Great Mound and other major monuments were preserved by the earliest settlers in parks such as the Mound Cemetery. During 1788, pioneers to the Ohio Country established Marietta as the first permanent settlement of the new United States in the Territory Northwest of the River Ohio and named it in honor of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France; Marietta being an affectionate nickname for the Queen. It was a station on the Underground Railroad before the Civil War and is the home of the longest-running ferromanganese refinery in North America. The private, nonsectarian liberal arts Marietta College is located here.
Maysville is a 3rd-class city in Mason County, Kentucky, United States and is the seat of Mason County.[1] The population was 9,011 at the 2010 census, making it the 40th-largest city in Kentucky by population. Maysville is on the Ohio River, 66 miles (106 km) northeast of Lexington. It is the principal city of the Maysville Micropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Mason and Lewis counties. Two bridges cross the Ohio from Maysville to Aberdeen: the Simon Kenton Memorial Bridge built in 1931 and the William H. Harsha Bridge built in 2001.
On the edge of the outer Bluegrass Region, Maysville was historically important in Kentucky's settlement. Frontiersmen Simon Kenton and Daniel Boone were among the city's founders. Later, Maysville was an important port on the Ohio River for the northeastern part of the state. It exported hemp and tobacco, both produced mainly by African American slaves before the Civil War.[citation needed] It was once a center of wrought iron manufacture, sending ironwork downriver to decorate the buildings of Cincinnati, Ohio, and New Orleans, Louisiana.[2] Other small manufacturers also located early in Maysville and manufacturing remains an important part of the modern economy.[3] Under the leadership of Henry Means Walker, Maysville was home to one of the largest tobacco auction warehouses in the world for most of the 20th century.[4]
Maysville was an important stop on the Underground Railroad, as the free state of Ohio was just across the river.[5] Abolitionist author Harriet Beecher Stowe visited the area in 1833 and watched a slave auction in front of the court house in Washington, the original seat of the county and now a historic district of Maysville.[6] She included the scene in her influential novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, published in 1852.
