Chartiers Creek

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chartiers Creek is a tributary of the Ohio River in western Pennsylvania in the United States. Chartiers Creek winds from its headwaters in Washington County through Allegheny County, where it meets the Ohio River at McKees Rocks and Pittsburgh's West End, three miles west of the Point at Pittsburgh. The creek was named after Pierre Chartiers, a trapper of French and Native American parentage who established a trading post at the mouth of the creek in 1743.
