  • The Principal Indian Towns of Western Pennsylvania C
    The Principal Indian Towns of Western Pennsylvania C. Hale Sipe One cannot travel far in Western Pennsylvania with- out passing the sites of Indian towns, Delaware, Shawnee and Seneca mostly, or being reminded of the Pennsylvania Indians by the beautiful names they gave to the mountains, streams and valleys where they roamed. In a future paper the writer will set forth the meaning of the names which the Indians gave to the mountains, valleys and streams of Western Pennsylvania; but the present paper is con- fined to a brief description of the principal Indian towns in the western part of the state. The writer has arranged these Indian towns in alphabetical order, as follows: Allaquippa's Town* This town, named for the Seneca, Queen Allaquippa, stood at the mouth of Chartier's Creek, where McKees Rocks now stands. In the Pennsylvania, Colonial Records, this stream is sometimes called "Allaquippa's River". The name "Allaquippa" means, as nearly as can be determined, "a hat", being likely a corruption of "alloquepi". This In- dian "Queen", who was visited by such noted characters as Conrad Weiser, Celoron and George Washington, had var- ious residences in the vicinity of the "Forks of the Ohio". In fact, there is good reason for thinking that at one time she lived right at the "Forks". When Washington met her while returning from his mission to the French, she was living where McKeesport now stands, having moved up from the Ohio to get farther away from the French. After Washington's surrender at Fort Necessity, July 4th, 1754, she and the other Indian inhabitants of the Ohio Val- ley friendly to the English, were taken to Aughwick, now Shirleysburg, where they were fed by the Colonial Author- ities of Pennsylvania.

Rivers of Steel is a heritage tourism initiative that seeks to preserve and celebrate the story of Big Steel and its related industries in southwestern Pennsylvania. More specifically, it weaves together cultural, recreational, and historical resources in a unifying physical framework with an exciting programmatic theme that will bolster the regional economy through tourism and economic development. The Rivers of Steel region, originally encompassing the six counties of Allegheny, Beaver, Fayette, Greene, Washington, and Westmoreland, was named a Heritage Area by the Pennsylvania Heritage Parks Program in April 1996. Late in 1996, Armstrong County was added to the Heritage Area, prompting the need for both historic and ethnographic surveys. Consequently, the Steel Industry Heritage Corporation (SIHC) commissioned this study, funded by the Pennsylvania Heritage Parks Program, with matching funds from five local financial institutions: Farmers National Bank, Mellon Bank, Merchants National Bank, Pennwood Savings Bank, and National City Bank.
