With a population of 302,407 as of the 2020 census, Pittsburgh is the second-largest city in the state of Pennsylvania behind Philadelphia. Nicknamed "The Steel City" for its history of steel production, Pittsburgh has transformed itself over the decades into a hub for technology, healthcare, education and financial services.

History

Pittsburgh was founded in 1758 by General John Forbes, who named the area after William Pitt, the British Secretary of State. Located where the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers meet, Pittsburgh was an ideal location for settlers and merchants. Growing quickly as a commercial center, Pittsburgh officially became a city in 1816. Its strategic location along major transportation routes helped Pittsburgh grow exponentially in the 1800s as coal mining and steel production took off. For a time, Pittsburgh produced so much steel it accounted for 60% of the national output. Major companies like U.S. Steel were headquartered in Pittsburgh. The city also became a railroad hub during this time.

But the steel industry collapsed in the 1970s and 1980s, leading to major population decline in Pittsburgh. Since then, the city has rebounded by growing its economy around industries like healthcare, education, technology and financial services. The population has stabilized and Pittsburgh is now widely recognized as one of America's most livable cities.
