DON (The), a river of W. R. Yorkshire. It rises in the moors, adjacent to the boundary with Cheshire, 6 miles SW of Penistone; runs about 22 miles, south-eastward to Sheffield; and goes thence, about 48 miles, north-eastward, past Rotherham, Conisbrough, Doncaster, and Thorne, to a confluence with the river Ouse at Goole. It is joined, in its course, by the Hodbeck, the Wente, and other tributaries, and by the Dearne and Dove and the Stainforth and Keadley canals.
