Harmar

Harmar is a historic neighborhood in the city of Marietta, in Washington County.

• Located at the western side of the confluence of the Muskingum and Ohio Rivers.
• The first pioneers of Marietta landed in April 1788, beginning by building cabins and planting crops along the river. 
• In 1974, 60 acres of Harmar was designated the Harmar Historic District and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

  

• Harmar has been connected by bridge to Putnam Street in Marietta proper; the first bridge was destroyed in the Great Flood of 1913 and a swing bridge constructed in its place, although the bridge has since been replaced by a newer span that opened in September 2000.
• In 1993, the district was expanded by the addition of more than two hundred contributing properties over an area of approximately 150 acres
