What is the history of Pittsburgh?

How old is Pittsburgh? It’s been around since 1758. By the early 19th century, it was called the Gateway to the West thanks to its position near multiple rivers. The Monongahela, Allegheny, and Ohio Rivers are all part of the Pittsburgh region. During the 1800s, traders made use of this location to trade coal, limestone, and other sought-after products. Pittsburgh’s industrial development at this time earned it the Steel City nickname — but it was also called the Smoky City due to factory pollution. How is it these days? With many changes made over the years, the city has gone from being a factory town to one that focuses on education, healthcare, and other industries!

How is the weather in Pittsburgh?

Love having all four seasons to enjoy? That’s the kind of climate that Pittsburgh offers! Summer highs tend to be in the mid-80s, with lows in the 60s. Spring and fall in the Steel City have mild daytime temps in the 60s and 70s. And you’ll get to see beautiful fall foliage in this northeastern city! What about winter? Highs during this time of year are usually in the upper 30s and low 40s. Lows in winter can reach down to the 20s. Pittsburgh gets a few inches of precipitation per month throughout the year. So, expect some rainy days and winter snow.
