  • The Monongahela River (affectionately referred to as The Mon) is a river on the Allegheny Plateau in West Virginia and Pennsylvania in the United States. At Pittsburgh, it meets the Allegheny River to form the Ohio River.

     

    The Monongahela is formed by the conflluence of the West Fork River and the Tygart Valley River at Fairmont, West Virginia. It is one of the largest rivers in the United States to flow generally northward. The river is navigable its entire length with a series of lock/dams ensuring a 9' depth. In Pennsylvania, the Monongahela is met by two major tributaries: the Cheat River, which joins at Point Marion; and the Youghiogheny River, which joins at McKeesport.

  • The Monongahela Valley was the site of the Whiskey Rebellion in 1794. Earlier, it was the site of a famous, if small battle that was one of the first in the French and Indian War (Braddock Expedition). It resulted in a sharp defeat for British and Colonial forces against those of the French and their Native American allies.
