Prior to the late 1760s, there was little European settlement in western Pennsylvania. The unrest of Indian disturbances, the ongoing French and Indian War, and boundary disputes between Pennsylvania and Virginia made the area undesirable to settlers. A successful expedition under General John Forbes in 1758 terminated French and Indian War fightin...
Just two weeks later, on April 20, 1769, Andrew Levi Levy, Sr., filed application number 3122 to the Colonial Land Office for a tract of 266 acres and allowances on both sides of the Great Road, about seven miles east of Fort Pitt. The land tract was known as Africa. He sold the patent to General William Thompson in 1788. General Thompson died soon...
In 1788, McNair built a log home on the north side of the Great Road, on the present Penn Avenue between Coal and Mill Streets. He called it “Crow’s Nest,” a likely reference to the top shelter at the masthead of the ship. Within a short period of time, Crow’s Nest burned. In 1790, McNair built a new home south of the Great Road, near the present c...
In the first decade of the 1800s, Samuel A. Rippey and his wife, Sutia Stewart, took over a tavern on the Great Road in McNairstown. Sutia’s sister, Anne, was the wife of Dunning McNair. Their establishment, Rippey’s Tavern, became quite popular, and for some time many knew McNairstown as “Rippeysville.” Samuel Rippey died in 1812, but Sutia contin...
During McNair’s lifetime, the Wilkins family also flourished in the area. As early as 1812, McNair referred to the village as “Wilkinsburgh” in legal documents. Most historians agree that the village was named in honor of William Wilkins, a judge of the county courts and one of the founders and the first president of the Bank of Pittsburgh. He late...
In 1833, James Kelly of Penn Township purchased McNair’s large tract of land from the Holland Land Company for $12,000. He continued to acquire nearby lands until his holdings included thousands of acres. Kelly was connected with almost every business, financial, religious and civic activity in Wilkinsburg for the next fifty years. He donated the l...
The main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad came through the village in 1851. One year later, regular train stops began in the borough. By 1853, the Wilkinsburg station had four daily trains to Pittsburgh. The first railroad station was built in 1860, but burned down in 1873. It was replaced by a larger station in approximately the same location. By...
Beginning in 1920, Wilkinsburg was one of Pittsburgh’s most outstanding suburbs. Residents were upwardly mobile, and the schools were very good. By 1937, about 85 percent of households had telephones, 95 percent had radios, and 55 percent had automobiles. The borough was always, however, a mildly transitional area. Once families became more prosper...
The population boom started in the ’20s and peaked somewhere in the late ’50s, between the 1950 and 1960 U.S. Census. At one point, Wilkinsburg was the most densely populated borough in the country, with 37,000 people in an area of 2.2 square miles. Beginning in the 1970s and 1980s, the steel industry in the region imploded, with massive layoffs an...
