It will be observed that the stream was then called "Belle riviere" the beautiful river), because It was thought to be a part of the Ohio, There are different explanations as to how the stream became finally known as the Allegheny. 'According to Frederick Post, Allegheny was the Delaware name for the Ohio. There is another theory that the name comes from the Allegewl, an ancient Indian tribe that once flourished on the banks of the Mississippi. Schoolcraft says: "The banks of this stream wero, in on i cicnt times occupied by an Important tribe, now unknown, who preceded the Iroquois and Detaware9. They were called Alleghans by Co'lden in the London edition of his work, and the rlrcr Is named Allegan by Lewis Evans In his celebrated map of 1755." There was also another name used by Evans for the Allegheny.

It was Paiawa Kunkl and la derived from the name given the river by the Shawancsc. Schoolcraft gives the name as Talawi Thorlkl. Pittsburg Dispatch.
