Did You Know?

Pittsburgh is one of the few cities that has retained the “h” at the end of its name. Though this was initially a rather lax rule with the ending often dropped, the old spelling was officially restored to “Pittsburgh” in 1911.

Pittsburgh sits towards the western border of Pennsylvania in Allegheny County where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers meet to form the Ohio River.
