About This City - EARLY HISTORY OF HOPEWELL TOWNSHIP by Clifford J. Smith
Rivers have played a major role in the history of mankind. When the French first met the Iroquois in the seventeenth century, those redskin inhabitants of the Great Lakes basin spoke of a great river which rose to the south of their land and flowed west. This was the Ohio, the "Beautiful River of the Iroquois."
Although explorers navigated the Ohio during the seventeenth century, there was no settlement in the future Beaver County until about 1743. Kakowatchiky, a Shawnee chief, moved with his band from the Susquehanna Valley, to Logstown. Here with the cooperation of the Ohio Mingoes they built a village, which during the next ten years became the most important center for the fur trade of the Pennsylvania traders
Also this site was the focal point for treaty making. In 1748 large delegations of Delawares, Shawnee, Iroquois and Wyandot assembled at Logstown to receive presents which Conrad Weiser hauled over the mountains with his packhorse train. The ensuing treaties were designed to strengthen the Indian alliance with the British in the struggle with the French as these two great powers vied for the control of the strategic Ohio Valley.
