The Ashtabula River[5] is a river located northeast of Cleveland in Ohio. The river flows into Lake Erie at the city of Ashtabula, Ohio. It is 40 miles (64 km) in length and drains 137 square miles (350 km2).[citation needed]

Name

Ashtabula derives from Lenape language ashte-pihële, 'always enough (fish) to go around, to be given away',[6] a contraction from apchi 'always'[7] + tepi 'enough' + hële (verb of motion).[8][9][10]

According to the Geographic Names Information System, the Ashtabula River has also been known as:[2]

  • Ashtibula River
  • Riviere Auscubalu
  • Riviere Oscubolu

Watershed

On October 30, 2008 the river was designated a State Scenic River by the Director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.[citation needed]

Pollution

In 1985 the first two miles of the river was named an "Area of Concern" by the International Joint Commission, primarily because of Fields Brook, a tributary that had received discharges from 19 industries between the 1940s and 1970s.[citation needed] The cleanup was deemed complete in 2014[11] and the river was delisted in 2021.[12]

  • Strong Brook
