On April 7, 1788, a flatboat, a galley, and three log canoes arrived at the mouth of the Muskingum River. Forty eight men of the Ohio Company Associates, led by General Rufus Putnam, came ashore and began a great, historic adventure. These pioneers, veterans of the Revolutionary War, persevered through daunting hardships to found Marietta, the first organized American settlement in the Northwest Territory and Ohio's first city.
Marietta was named to honor Marie Antoinette, the French Queen who supported the Americans in the war against Great Britain. Marietta became the seat of government for the Northwest Territory. Drawing many pioneers wishing to purchase land, it soon became known as the Gateway to the Northwest.
