East Liverpool, Ohio – Has It All

Nestled in the verdant hills of the Ohio River Valley, where Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia meet, the city provides an ideal setting.  At East Liverpool’s border with Pennsylvania, a Point of Beginning marker denotes the first survey stake or geographer’s line for plotting the seven ranges of the Northwest Territory, officially making this region of Ohio a gateway to the new frontier for our nation’s early settlers.

News of the area’s rich deposits of clay and coal drew the interest and fired the imagination of James Bennett, an English émigré and skilled potter.
