Ohioville is a borough in western Beaver County, Pennsylvania, United States.
The region had, in years past, been home to numerous tribes of Native Americans, most notably the Archaic and Woodland periods, of Iroquionian extraction.
Prior to William Penn's arrival in eastern Pennsylvania, the Iroquois tribe of the Five Nations used the region for hunting.

Near the ferry, a spring of "bituminous oil" arose that would play a crucial role in the township's development.
