It was incorporated as a borough on April 22, 1794, and from 1891 to 1911, the city’s name was federally recognized as “Pittsburg”, though the use of the final h was retained during this period by the city government and other local organizations. After a public campaign, the federal decision to drop the h was reversed. Pittsburgh is known both as “the Steel City” for its more than 300 steel-related business- es and as the “City of Bridges” for its 446 bridges. Aside from steel, Pittsburgh has led in manufacturing of aluminum, glass, shipbuilding, petroleum, foods, sports, transportation, computing, autos, and electronics. After the deindustrialization of the mid-20th century, Pittsburgh has transformed into a hub for the health care, education, and technology in- dustries, and the area is home to 68 colleges and universities. In 2015, Pittsburgh was listed among the “eleven most livable cities in the world”. The Econ- omist’s Global Liveability Rating placed Pittsburgh as the most or second-most livable city in the United States in 2005, 2009, 2011, 2012, and 2014. Population (2010): 305,704 MOON TOWNSHIP Moon Township was incorporated in 1788 as one of the original townships of the newly created Allegheny County. The following year, by an act of legislature a portion of Wash- ington County, south of the Ohio River, was transferred back to Allegheny County - that transferred area became part of Moon Township. Moon Township occupied an enormous tract of land when created, possibly up to 145 square miles. Legends of the time indicate that it would take one man on horseback two days to travel between the boundaries of the township. In 1790, the current Fayette Town- ship was portioned off from Moon Township, followed by Findlay and Crescent townships, respectively. Moon became home to Pittsburgh’s modern-day airport in 1951, replacing the Allegheny County Airport as the main terminal for the region. The township is home to the Air Force Reserve 911th Airlift Wing, 171st Air Refueling Wing of the Pennsylvania Air National Guard, and the Army 99th Regional Readiness Command. It also is the location for Nova Chemi- cals, FedEx Ground, and First Health/Coventry corporation headquarters.
