Shenango

The Shenango River flows south through wooded country toward the Ohio basin. Near its junction with the Mahoning, the two rivers form the Beaver, which continues to the Ohio. An Indigenous trail followed the Shenango to Kuskusky, a group of towns around the river forks. In the eighteenth century Lenape, Mingo and Seneca people lived in these communities, which became centres of diplomacy during the struggle between France and Britain for the Ohio country.
