Allegheny City
Prior to 1907 the twin cities of Pittsburgh and Allegheny City sat across the Allegheny river, each growing in power. After some shrewd political maneuvering by Mayor Percy Hunter the two cities were merged into one in the fall of 1907.
Allegheny City is a genuine melting pot of cultures, especially from western and eastern Europe.
Western University of Pennsylvania (WUP)
Founded in 1787 on what was then the American frontier, WUP is one of the oldest continuously chartered institutions of higher education in the United States. This university is a state-sponsored research institution.
