HistorikPrior to European contact, this area was settled for thousands of years by succeeding cultures of indigenous peoples. During the colonial era, historic native groups known by the colonists to settle in the area included members of western nations of the Iroquois, such as the Seneca; the Lenape, who had been pushed from the East by European-American settlers; the Shawnee, who also had territory in Ohio; and the Mingo, a group made up of a variety of peoples from more eastern tribes. European fur traders such as Peter Chartier established trading posts in the region in the early eighteenth century. ÖvrigtAllegheny was the first county in Pennsylvania to be given a Native American name. It was named after the Lenape word for the Allegheny River. The meaning of ”Allegheny” is uncertain. It is usually said to mean ”fine river”. Stewart says that the name may come from a Lenape account of an ancient mythical tribe called ”Allegewi”, who lived along the river before being taken over by the Lenape. |
