Greensburg is the county seat of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, located 30 miles southeast of Pittsburgh with a 2020 population of 14,976. Named after Continental Army General Nathanael Greene, the city originated from a settlement called Newtown that became the county seat on December 10, 1785, and was formally incorporated as a borough on February 9, 1799. The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw rapid growth driven by coal mining, with several mines including Greensburg/Keystone Nos. 1 and 2 operating in the area. The city's cultural institutions expanded significantly after World War II, including the opening of the Westmoreland County Museum of Art in 1959 and the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg in 1963, followed by Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine's satellite campus at Seton Hill University in 2009. Downtown revitalization efforts since the 1990s have focused on cultural amenities including the Palace Theater and historic Train Station restoration. Washington is a city in Washington County, Pennsylvania, and serves as its county seat with a 2020 population of 13,176 in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area of southwestern Pennsylvania. Settled beginning around 1768 by Scottish, Irish, and Virginian immigrants, the town was officially established on March 28, 1781, and later renamed Washington when David Hoge laid out its lots, though local lore incorrectly claims George Washington visited the area. The city became the center of the Whiskey Rebellion of 1791, one of the first major uprisings against the new U.S. government, with the David Bradford House now serving as a museum dedicated to this pivotal event. Washington experienced rapid growth from the 1880s through early 1900s following discovery of oil and natural gas at the Washington oil field, and developed an extensive electric trolley system between 1889 and 1953. Today the city is home to Washington & Jefferson College and Pony League baseball, and is nicknamed "Little Washington" to distinguish it from Washington, D.C. New Castle is a city in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, serving as the county seat, located 43 miles northwest of Pittsburgh along the Shenango River near the Pennsylvania-Ohio border with a population of 21,926 as of the 2020 census. Founded in April 1798 by civil engineer John Carlysle Stewart on 50 acres at the confluence of the Shenango River and Neshannock Creek, the city was incorporated as a borough in 1825 and became a city in 1869 under mayor Thomas B. Morgan. New Castle became a major industrial hub in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, earning recognition as the tin plate capital of the world after construction of America's largest tin plate mill, while its population surged from 11,600 in 1890 to 38,280 in 1910 as Italian immigrants arrived to work in mills and limestone quarries. The city's economy was further diversified by steel mills, foundries, paper mills, and ceramic factories including Shenango China, which produced dinnerware for U.S. Presidents Eisenhower and Johnson, with prosperity peaking in the 1920s. Today, New Castle remains the commercial center of a fertile agricultural region and part of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area, while approximately 2,000 Amish residents live in nearby townships north of the city.
