caption_attribution_description: English: Picture of the stone marker at or near the former site of Logstown (1725-1758), located near present-day Ambridge in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, USA, on October 30, 2009. The plaque on the stone says the following: "LOGSTOWN. 1725 - 1758. An historic Indian village was located a short distance northwest of this spot. It was founded by Shawnee and later occupied also by Delawares, Senecas, Mohawks, and Wyandots. Here in 1748 Conrad Weiser, agent of Pennsylvania, negotiated a treaty with the Indians, that opened the region west of the Allegheny Mountains to Anglo-Saxon influence and development. June 11, 1752, the Treaty of Logstown was made between the Iroquois Indians and the Virginians, giving the latter the right to build a fort and establish a trading post at the forks of the Ohio (Pittsburgh). MAJOR GEORGE WASHINGTON held councils at Logstown with Tanacharison, Scarouady, Shingas and other Indian chiefs, November 24 to 30, 1753 while on his important mission to Fort LeBoeuf. Erected by Fort McIntosh Chapter. Daughters of the American Revolution. 1932."
context_page_description: The riverside village of Logstown, near modern-day Baden, Pennsylvania, was a significant Native American settlement in Western Pennsylvania, and the site of the 1752 signing of the treaty of friendship between the Ohio Company and the First Nations occupying the region in the years leading up to the French and Indian War—during which Logstown became nearly depopulated and abandoned. Being an unusually large settlement, and because of its strategic location, Logstown was an important factor of all parties developing the Ohio and tributary rivers.
  Logstown is located in Harmony Township, northwest of the Forks of the Ohio in an area on the east bank of the Ohio River opposite Aliquippa. The site is also due north of the Pittsburgh International Airport.
