The Mahoning Valley is a geographic valley encompassing Northeast Ohio and a small portion of Western Pennsylvania that drains into the Mahoning River. According to information at the bottom of Page 321 in a publication^[1] by the Ohio Secretary of State's Office, the river name comes from an Indian word meaning “at the licks.”
