History & geography

History

The Mingo people once had a settlement at the location of the present-day village, which is the source of its name. Originally known as Mingo Bottom or Mingo Town, it was the starting point for the ill-fated Crawford expedition against Native Americans in 1782, during the American Revolutionary War. In 1770, George Washington set out on an expedition to explore the Ohio River Valley. On October 22, he camped overnight in what was known then as Mingo Town, describing it as blustery and cold with about 20 cabins and 70 inhabitants of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Washington wrote a complete account of his observations in a diary stored in the Library of Congress. Mingo Junction was founded circa 1869 when an iron works was started there. In 1900, its only manufacturing plant was a steel mill owned by Carnegie Steel Company.
