Contains materials pertaining to Martins Ferry and surrounding area. The town had its inception in 1787 when ground upon which the city is located was purchased by Captain Absalom Martin, one of the surveyors of the Seven Ranges of the Northwest Territory. Absalom started operating a ferry in 1789. Thus, the name Martins Ferry. In 1835, his son, Ebenezer, platted and laid out the town.
