Description: Panoramic photograph showing the Ohio River near the town of Bellaire, Ohio, during the early 20th century. Bellaire, incorporated in 1857, is located at the confluence of McMahon Creek and the Ohio River in Belmont County, Ohio. Bridges spanning the river connect people and railroads to West Virginia. Jacob Davis acquired the land on which the town was eventually laid out in 1802, naming it Bel Air after his home in Maryland. His son, Jacob Davis, Jr., laid out the town in 1834. Multiple variations of the town name were used in the early 19th century: when the first post office was established in 1841 the town was listed as Bell Air, and after 1870, the town was called Bellaire. Several railroads built lines through Bellaire in the 1850s that stimulated the growth of local industries such as coal mining, clay, limestone and glass manufacturing. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Situated along the National Road in Zanesville, the Y-bridge was first constructed in 1814 and was made of wooden trestles and stone, with a toll house in the center. It is the only three-way bridge in the United States. Five different constructions of the Y-bridge have crossed the Licking and Muskingum rivers over the years, with the most recent built in 1984.

Description: Steubenville's first bridge to cross the Ohio River was built between 1857 and 1865. The bridge connected the S&I (Steubenville and Indiana Railroad) and P&S (Pittsburgh and Steubenville Railroad). The new railroad line was operated by the Western Transportation Company as the Pittsburgh, Columbus, and Cincinnati Railroad until 1868, when multiple companies joined together as the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railway. All that remains of the original bridge is one pier which now braces the most current railroad bridge, viewable from State Route 7. The Pennsylvania Railroad Bridge, viewed best from LaBelle Avenue and Stanton Boulevard, a mammoth structure more than 1,000 feet long, was installed as a unit September 29, 1936, to replace the old bridge. New piers were constructed, and the steel work was fabricated and welded on the spot. Traffic was delayed for only seven hours as the bridge was lifted into place by 10 powerful jacks. This massive metal riveted cantilever though truss bridge is sometimes called the Steubenville Railroad Bridge or the Norfolk Southern Railway Bridge. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Close-up portrait of a young boy wearing a life jacket and standing along the bank of the Ohio River near Portsmouth, Ohio. A bridge across the river and a Bicentennial flag can be seen in the background. The photograph and title come from photographer Andrew Schwebel of Columbus, Ohio, and it was submitted in the Amateur category of the Spirit of Ohio Bicentennial Photo Contest. In August 1976, the Ohio American Revolution Bicentennial Advisory Committee (OARBAC) began the Spirit of Ohio Bicentennial Photo Contest as part of a larger effort in Ohio to celebrate the 1976 American Bicentennial. The contest was meant to document "the spirit and character of the people and places which represent Ohio during [the] bicentennial year," and to create a permanent photographic archive of the year's festivity for use by future researchers. Both professional and amateur photographers submitted over 500 photographs for consideration, all taken within the state between January 1 and December 31, 1976. View on Ohio Memory.
