'Chartiers Creek' is a
tributary of the
Ohio River in western
Pennsylvania in the
United States. Chartiers Creek winds from its
headwaters in
Washington County through
Allegheny County, where it meets the Ohio River at
McKees Rocks and
Pittsburgh's West End, three miles west of the
Point at
Pittsburgh. The creek was named after
Pierre Chartiers, a trapper of
French and
Native American parentage who established a
trading post at the mouth of the creek in
1743.
