Pittsburgh’s story begins long before it was called “Steel City.” Nestled at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, the area was first settled with the construction of Fort Pitt in November 1758, following the British victory in the French and Indian War. By April 22, 1794, Pittsburgh was incorporated as a borough, and it gained city status on March 18, 1816. The 19th century saw Pittsburgh emerge as a center for iron production and glass manufacturing, and by 1875, the first steel ingot rolled at the Edgar Thomson Works signaled the rise of the steel era. By 1911, Pittsburgh produced half of the nation’s steel, earning its nickname the “Steel City.” In the mid-20th century, the city was dubbed the “Arsenal of Democracy” for its critical munitions output during World War II. After the collapse of the steel industry in the 1970s, Pittsburgh embarked on its “Renaissance”—investing in education, healthcare, and technology—which has transformed it into a thriving modern economy. Known today for its more than 400 bridges, Pittsburgh blends its industrial heritage with green spaces and a dynamic arts scene, earning nicknames like “City of Bridges” and “City of Champions.” Explore more at the City of Pittsburgh’s Official Site or on its Wikipedia page for Pittsburgh.
