About Allentown, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Allentown is a hilltop neighborhood in the southern part of Pittsburgh, in Allegheny County. Its ground was once part of St. Clair Township, one of the county's original townships. On April 26, 1827, an Englishman named Joseph Allen bought this land from Jeremiah Warder, and the place later carried his name. In 1869 land was taken from Lower St. Clair to help form Allentown borough, which was incorporated on March 2, 1870.
The borough stood on its own for only two years. Pittsburgh annexed Allentown on April 2, 1872, and it became the city's Thirty-first ward, beside Mount Washington in the Thirty-second. Land the city did not take returned to the township, and on June 9, 1875, part of the old borough became Beltzhoover Borough.
- Electric streetcars in 1888Two main roads south from Pittsburgh met on this hilltop: Washington Road, now Warrington Avenue, and the Brownsville Turnpike Road, now Arlington Avenue. Horse-drawn cars first tied the neighborhood to downtown. Then in 1888 Allentown put an electric streetcar into service, the first anywhere west of the Allegheny Mountains. The trolley still climbs Warrington Avenue, though it no longer stops here. Trains use the line only when the South Hills Transit Tunnel is shut.
- The curved Knoxville InclineFive inclines once carried riders up to Allentown. The best known was the Knoxville Incline, which followed a curve and had its station at the corner of Warrington and Arlington Avenues.
- Settled by German craftsmenMany skilled German immigrants made their homes in Allentown and opened businesses there, helped by its short trip to downtown Pittsburgh. Welsh, Irish and English settlers formed the next largest group of newcomers.
