The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

The area that would become Conway was first settled by former American Revolutionary War General John McKee, an Irish immigrant, around 1800 through an 800-acre grant of New Sewickley Township. The area had formerly been known as Crow's Run Valley by several tribes of Native Americans because of the abundance of crows that nested in the Hemlock trees of the region. McKee's land extended in to the forest about 2 miles (3.2 km) from the Ohio River.
