How many Rivers does your city have? and what are they?

I think Boston, MA has the most with 4 (Charles, Neponset, Mystic, and Muddy)
also bodys of water like the East river or the Providence river do not count because they were not freshwater rivers at any point along their path

My current city of residence has 2 rivers.

St Louis City has only the Mississippi River. But if you include St. Louis County, you can add the Missouri and the Meramec for a total of 3 rivers. And someone will probably say, "what about River Des Peres?"....well, that's not a real river, it's a drainage canal.

Jersey City is on a peninsula between two rivers: the Hudson and the Hackensack.

If you use this exclusion, NYC only has 1 - the Bronx river.

The Hudson river is not a freshwater river in NYC.

In the city of Pittsburgh, there are obviously three rivers: the Allegheny River, the Monongahela RIver, and the Ohio River.

Each of those primary rivers has a secondary river in the Pittsburgh MSA that serves as its primary tributary: the Kiskiminetas River (Allegheny), the Youghiogheny River (Monongahela), and the Beaver River (Ohio).

Each of those secondary rivers is also fed by both a tertiary river and a large creek: the Conemaugh River and Loyalhanna Creek (Kiskiminetas, Allegheny), the Casselman River and Indian Creek (Youghiogheny, Monongahela), and the Shenango River and Connoquenessing Creek (Beaver, Ohio).

Each major river also has a large creek directly feeding it in Allegheny County: Pine Creek (Allegheny), Turtle Creek (Monongahela), and Chartiers Creek (Ohio).

Here's a series of "flow" charts to make it all easier to understand:

Allegheny River < Kiskiminetas River < Conemaugh River
Allegheny River < Kiskiminetas River < Loyalhanna Creek
Allegheny River < Pine Creek

Monongahela River < Youghiogheny River < Casselman River
Monongahela River < Youghiogheny River < Indian Creek
Monongahela River < Turtle Creek

Ohio River < Beaver River < Shenango River
Ohio River < Beaver River < Connoquenessing Creek
Ohio River < Chartiers Creek
