Pittsburgh Quick Guide
Pittsburgh has deep roots in American history. From the mid-1700s when Fort Pitt was built, through the Civil War that was fought in the late 1800s, "America's First City" was an early place of significance for the military, and later a center of production for much-needed goods.
From about 1901 to the 1980s, the city's economy came to rely heavily on the production of steel. So steeped into the local culture were the steel mills that the city's professional football team - the Pittsburgh Steelers - was named in honor of Steel City, as Pittsburgh is sometimes called.
Known today as "America's Most Livable City," Pittsburgh's economy is driven by government, health, education, manufacturing, service and professional industries.
The City of Pittsburgh City-County Building is located at 414 Grant Street. Residents with questions, comments or concerns about city departments and services can call the mayor's non-emergency response line by dialing 311 from any landline phone.
