Golf in Powhatan Point

Powhatan Point is a Belmont County community on the Ohio River where the river defines the state's eastern boundary and the bluff terrain of the Appalachian foothills descends to the river corridor. The name honors the Powhatan Confederacy—the tribal alliance whose most famous member, Pocahontas, represents the intersection of Native American and European colonial cultures in the early American story. The river town character of Powhatan Point reflects the industrial and commercial heritage of communities that grew up along the Ohio's northern bank in the nineteenth century.
