Marietta, Ohio

Population: 15,026

Located in Washington County

Marietta, Ohio, is the oldest permanent settlement in the Northwest Territory. Known as the "Riverboat Town," it is located at the confluence of the Muskingum and Ohio rivers.

Marietta is the leading marketplace in southeastern Ohio, but it still bears the imprint of the Ohio Company's work. Trees border quiet brick streets lined with beautiful Victorian homes. Friends meet in parks and commons along the river.

Evidence of early Native American settlements have been found in various earthen structures, including remnants attributed to the Hopewell people along Marietta's Sacra Via Boulevard.

Marietta provides a unique setting for commerce, culture and history, which is why it rightfully is "Ohio's First."
