History

The founding of Marietta began when future U.S. president George Washington, who was working as a surveyor, began exploring large tracts of land west of his native Virginia in 1770. The President of the United States is the Head of state and Head of government of the United States and is the highest political official in United States by George Washington (February 22 1732 December 14 1799 served as the first President of the United States of America (1789&ndash1797 and led the Surveying is the technique and science of accurately determining the terrestrial or three-dimensional space Position of points and the distances and angles between The Commonwealth of Virginia ( is an American state Year 1770 ( MDCCLXX) was a Common year starting on Monday (see link for calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common year starting on Friday During the Revolutionary War, Washington told his friend, General Rufus Putnam, of the beauty he had seen in his travels through the Ohio Valley and of his ideas for settling the territory. In this article the inhabitants of the thirteen colonies that supported the American Revolution are primarily referred to as "Americans" with occasional references to "Patriots" Rufus Putnam ( April 9, 1738 &ndash 1824 was a colonial military officer during the French and Indian War, and a general in the Continental Army The Ohio River is the largest Tributary by volume of the Mississippi River. After the war, the newly formed country found itself with little money but blessed with natural resources. As a result of this cash deficit, men who had served in the revolution were paid, not with cash, but with warrants for land in the Northwest Territory. In Finance, a warrant is a security that entitles the holder to buy stock of the company that issued it at a specified price which is usually higher than the stock There was one problem with these warrants, however. The Federal Government did not own the land it offered until the passage of the Ordinance of 1787 which ceded ownership of the Northwest Territory to the government. The federal government of the United States is the central United States Governmental body established by the United States Constitution. The Northwest Ordinance (formally An Ordinance for the Government of the Territory of the United States North-West of the River Ohio, and also known as the Freedom The Ohio Company of Associates planned to buy 1. 5 million acres (6,100 km²) of land from Congress with provisions it had written in the ordinance which allowed veterans to use their warrants to purchase the land.

When this group of forty-eight men, led by General Rufus Putnam, arrived, they brought with them the first government sanctioned by the United States. American Pioneers to the Northwest Territory included soldiers of the Revolution and members of the Ohio Company of Associates. Rufus Putnam ( April 9, 1738 &ndash 1824 was a colonial military officer during the French and Indian War, and a general in the Continental Army [3] Fort Harmar, a military outpost built three years prior, lay across the Muskingum River. Josiah Harmar ( November 10, 1753 – August 20, 1813) was an officer in the United States Army during the American Revolution The Native Americans were not pleased with the arrival of the settlers who immediately started construction of two forts, Campus Martius, which stood at the site of the museum which today bears its name, and Picketed Point, at the confluence of the Muskingum and Ohio Rivers. Native Americans in the United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed by the continental United States Confluence, in Geography, describes the meeting of two or more Bodies of water. At the same time, a community was also being built in the wilderness from plans made before the group's departure from Boston.

In 1785, the Treaty of Harmar was signed, bringing some resolve with several Native American nations in regards to trade, controversy and boundaries. Year 1785 ( MDCCLXXXV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common

On April 7, 1788 a group of 48 men of the Ohio Company of Associates arrived at the confluence of the Muskingum and Ohio rivers and established the first permanent American settlement in the Northwest Territory[4][5] (older European settlements include Sault Ste.

In 1788, George Washington said the following about Marietta:

Since many of the settlers had been officers during the revolution, and were highly educated, education was also a priority for these first settlers.

All four brothers became nationally prominent businessmen or politicians - Charles Gates Dawes, Rufus C. Dawes, Beman Gates Dawes and Henry May Dawes.

The Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad (M&C), now defunct, was a railroad of southern Ohio later absorbed by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O). The M&C started as The Belpre and Cincinnati Railroad (B&C) in 1845 to connect to the B&O at Parkersburg, WV/Belpre, Ohio. The Virginia Government would only allow the B&O to go to the Ohio River at Wheeling, WV. The planned route of the B&C was changed to Marietta, Ohio and the name also changed in 1851. Right of way extended up river from Marietta to Bellaire, Ohio for a connection to the B&O. The M&C was bankrupt by 1857 but continued west to reach Cincinnati, Ohio. The first through train from Cincinnati ran on April 9, 1857.

The railroad never went up-river from Marietta and the right of way south of Bellaire was later purchased by roads controlled by the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR). William Stacy (February 15 1734 – August 1802 was an officer of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, and a pioneer to the Ohio

To continue to the east on the B&O, one had to take a steamboat down river to Parkersburg.

With help from the B&O and the Baltimore City Council, the Union Railroad connected Marietta to Belpre in 1860. It also was later absorbed by the B&O. This section of track is still in operation (2004) with unit coal trains providing most of the traffic.

At one time in the 20th century, Marietta saw 24 passenger trains a day, most of which were on the PRR tracks.

One of the main driving forces in the M&C was William P. Cutler. Userpolbot from http//bioguidecongressgov/scripts/biodisplaypl?index=C001027 He also was a backer of the Union Railroad and the MCC among other local railroads. Cutler served as General Manager and as President of the M&C for many years.

As transportation advanced, Marietta was passed by. The B & O Railroad went through Parkersburg, West Virginia, the National Road went through Zanesville leaving Marietta off the main travel routes until 1967 with the opening of I-77.

Government

Local government

The city of Marietta uses the mayor-council form of government. The Mayor-Council government system sometimes called the Mayor-Commission government system is one of two variations of Government used for the most part in modern The mayor is a full-time position; the seven city council members and the city council president are all part-time positions. The city is divided into four wards, with a person from each ward elected to the council. In addition, there is a non-voting city council president and three voting at-large councilmen.

Democrat Michael "Moon" Mullen is the current Mayor of Marietta. He followed Democrat Joseph Matthews, who was defeated in the 2003 Democratic primary by Mullen. Prior to being elected Mayor of Marietta, Mullen was an at-large member of city Council, having previously served the first ward on council and as the Marietta City Development Director. On November 2, 2003, Mullen was elected Mayor after defeating Republican challenger Cathy Harper and independent candidate Dan Harrison. Mullen took office in January 2004, and was reelected in 2007.

The 2007 Mayoral race in Marietta is unusual in that no Republican candidate filed for the position. Former Mayor Joe Matthews challenged Mayor Mullen for the Democratic nomination but was defeated in the May 8th primary 55%-45%. 2003 Mayoral Candidate Dan Harrison filed to run for City Council President as an Independent but was excluded from the ballot after he voted in the Democratic primary thus removing his Independent status. In the November 6th general election, Mullen won with 63% of the vote.

The election represents the first time since 1991 that the Republican Party has held a majority of seats in the Marietta City Council.

The election was contentious and featured the participation of several citizen's groups including the Citizen's Armory Preservation Society (CAPS) and Citizen's for Responsible Government (CRG) backing specific candidates based on their record. 2nd Ward losing incumbent, Democratic Katie McGlynn referred to it as a 'machine' that led to her defeat by first-time candidate Randy Wilson by 17 votes.
