- An important route north from the Ohio River for Indians, frontiersmen, soldiers, and settlers. Pre-historic Indian mounds and village sites are throughout the valley. In 1788 the river was a boundary between two major survey districts, The Virginia Military Lands to the east and Symme's Purchase between the Miamis. The first extensive railroad system in Ohio followed the valley in the 1840s.
