Actually, the state boundary between Ohio and West Virginia and Ohio and
Kentucky is the northern or left bank of the Ohio River. The boundary is
not down the middle as one might assume. Some years ago West Virginia
had to replace the Silver Bridge across the Ohio River at their own
expense for that very reason. Ohio's only expenses were the approaches
above the northern bank. Those Yankees are sometimes smarter than they
look. There is some modest controversy about exactly where on the
northern bank the state line falls but all parties agree that it is the
northern bank.
