The river is formed by the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers at The Point of Pittsburgh. From Pittsburgh, it flows to the northwest through western Pennsylvania, before making an abrupt, almost 180 degree, turn to the south-southwest at the West Virginia state line, from which point it forms the border between West Virginia and Ohio.
