Welcome
to
Marietta
,
Ohio
As the First Organized settlement in the Northwest Territory,
Marietta
is special. Some say it is the beauty of our brick streets and city
parks. Others say it is our setting at the confluence of the
Ohio
and
Muskingum
Rivers
or the restored historic homes and buildings.
Founded
in 1788 by the Ohio Company, our history is evident in our museums and
the ambience of our Historic Downtown. The visitor will find many
opportunities to relax and enjoy the friendliness of a small town. Whether
it is shopping for antiques or gifts in our unique boutiques, dining al
fresco by the Ohio River, or hiking through our parks, a visit to
Marietta
offers glimpses into the past.
For visitors and residents,
Marietta
offers urban amenities with small-town hospitality.
From fine cuisine restaurants to a lively arts and entertainment
scene, it’s easy to understand why people who visit decide to live
here.
Rooted in its history, yet reaching for the future.
Marietta
and the rolling hills of
Washington
County
will enchant the visitor and entice the business traveler. Stroll our
brick streets, shop in our unique stores, and enjoy a leisurely meal at
one of our charming restaurants! We know you’ll want to come back
again and again.
