Abstract
Incorporated as a city since 1816, and situated at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers, uniting to form the Ohio, Pittsburgh, Pa., is one of the greatest industrial, financial, and distributing centers. The city proper, which has an area of 46.93 sq. miles, is divided by the rivers into three principal sections. The largest and most populous section known as “Peninsular Pittsburgh”, or the “Old” City, occupies the territory between the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers, and includes the down-town or business district. The territory south of the Ohio and Monongahela Rivers is known as the South Side, and that north of the Ohio and Allegheny Rivers, formerly the City of Allegheny, as the North Side.
