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.

Orientation:

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