Allegheny City

DUQ's Pittsburgh 250 Initiative will explore a significant element of our region's past, present and future. When you hear the term Òtwin cities, you might think of Minneapolis and Saint Paul. But Pittsburgh once had its own twin: it was called Allegheny City, and it occupied the land now known as the North Side. 100 years ago this week, Pittsburgh won a long-standing battle to annex Allegheny. And as DUQ's Katherine Fink reports, some of the resentment Allegheny residents felt back then influenced what the North Side is today. Listen to the full-length story here.
