The borough developed rapidly even before its incorporation in 1909. In the early 1900s; the extension of Pittsburghs railway system; the opening of the Liberty Tunnels; and the building of the Liberty Bridge; along with the recreational opportunities the borough has to offer; encouraged many families to settle and escape the pollution of Pittsburghs steel mills. Through the years; the direct access to the citys business and cultural areas has drawn residents to the historic borough.
