ALLEGHENY RIVER HISTORY. Location: A river rising in north-central Pennsylvania and flowing about 523 km (325 mi) northwest into New York then southwest into Pennsylvania again, where it joins the Monongahela River at Pittsburgh to form the Ohio River.
The Monongahela joins the Allegheny River to form the Ohio River at Pittsburgh . Etymology The Native American word Monongahela means falling banks, in reference to the geological instability of the river's banks. Moravian missionary David Zeisberger (1721â1808) gave this account of the naming: In the Indian tongue the name of this river was Mechmenawungihilla (alternatively spelled Menawngihella), which signifies a high bank, which is ever washed out and therefore collapses.
