In the late 19th century; the boroughs of Mansfield and Chartiers were situated south and west of Pittsburgh and divided by a creek. They merged to become one unified city; and a new name was sought. The community petitioned philanthropist Andrew Carnegie for financial assistance; and he responded generously. Thus; the town of Carnegie was founded on March 1; 1894. Throughout the decades that followed; Carnegie experienced rapid growth of industry; commerce; and population. Yet anyone who has ever resided there will boast of its small-town charm. The steel mills supported generations of families; who then struggled to adapt to a changing world when the plants closed down. Carnegies hometown heroes include Pirates shortstop Honus Wagner and NFL coach Mike Ditka. Carnegie is a photographic essay that chronicles the townshistory and abundant contributions to industry and transportation.
