It is the largest tributary of the Mississippi River. Robert Cavelier,Seir de La Salle,is claimed to have discovered the Ohio River in 1690and to have sailed down asfar as present-day Louisville, Kentucky. The French controlled most of the area until the end ofthe French and Indian War,which initiated English control in the 1750's. The English settlers were then faced with fighting the Indians, and they finally reached a treaty in the early 1780's. Since then, the Ohio River has become an important trade route. Between 1820 and 1860, over 60 steamboats navigated the river. But in the early 1900's, tugboats began replacing the steamboats. To supplement the increasing river travel, the government began building a series of locks,canals,and dams to keep the river depth navigable. Large amounts of coal and steel are shipped on the river, as well as aluminum, produce, and chemicals. Because heavy industries are located near the river, pollution has been high;however,govern- ment regulation is attempting to alleviate the problem. 1•1:11..... .000.• 7:2:1111.1•111.0 ... _ •111.=WM= IIM MIX. 001IITZ=NL.
