Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is a city at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers, which merge to form the Ohio River. The 2010 census counted a population of 305,704 (metropolitan area 2,356,285).
Beginning in the early 19th century, Pittsburgh's access to large coal deposits and major trade routes made it one of the world's leading industrial powerhouses. Steel production was a major industry for many years, earning Pittsburgh the nickname "Steel City." European immigrants settled in and around the city in the 19th and early 20th centuries to seek employment in the steel mills, coal mines, railroads, or associated industries.
In the wake of the steel industry's decline, Pittsburgh's industrial base has shifted toward healthcare, education, technology, robotics, and financial services.
