The Kittanning Path was a major east-west Native American trail in western Pennsylvania used during the 18th century. It provided an overland route for the Lenape, Shawnee, and early European settlers across the Allegheny Mountains, terminating at its western end on the Allegheny River at the Native American village of Kittanning (at present day Kittanning, Pennsylvania), the largest Native American village in the Ohio Country west of the Alleghenies. It tranversed a section of Pennsylvania closed to white settlement by the original settlement with William Penn, until opened by the Treaty of Fort Stanwix. In the 1750s, it was the scene of a fierce raids by Native Americans against white settlement, and a major British retribution campaign during the French and Indian War. It fell into disuse in the 1780s and was abandoned. A section of the original path is preserved in northwestern Cambria County.
When the Acadians were expelled by the British in the 1750s, many relied on existing networks of family and friends to guide their relocation. Some moved to areas in present-day Louisiana, where they were welcomed by French-speaking populations, while others sought refuge in France or other parts of Canada. Their knowledge of geography, shared experiences, and the support of fellow Acadians facilitated their movement to safer havens. Additionally, some Acadians were able to use maritime routes to escape and find new homes.

Anthony Henday was an employee of the Hudson's Bay Company, traveling through western Canada in the 1750s to establish trade relations with various First Nations groups.
