Assereniet

Assereniet is an old name for the Great Miami River, which flows south through western Ohio to join the Ohio River. Its valley was home to Miami and Shawnee communities, and the French called the waterway the River of Rocks. In the early nineteenth century construction began on the Miami and Erie Canal, which followed the river valley north from Cincinnati; the canal reached Dayton in 1830.

The later city of Cincinnati lies here.
