Welcome to Dayton Pioneers where our goal is to celebrate and illustrate American ingenuity and history through the stories of pioneer families of Ohio, and their impact on the development of Dayton, Montgomery County, and the Miami Valley.
The great Ohio River, pictured above, begins at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers near Pittsburgh, and travels southward along the eastern edge of Ohio. Near West Virginia, the Ohio River turns westward separating Ohio and Kentucky, and glides along the southern edges of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, where it empties into the Mississippi River. Native Americans and early white settlers alike followed the Ohio River to reach the interior of America.
