Downtown Information
Downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, sometimes called the Golden Triangle, is
located at the precise confluence of the Allegheny River and the Monongahela
River. The "triangle" is formed by the two rivers; it is "golden" because it is
and long has been the city's commercial center, where major corporations such as
PNC Bank, U.S. Steel, PPG, Mellon Financial, and Alcoa are based, and where the
fortunes of industrial barons like Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, George
Westinghouse, and Henry J. Heinz were made.
It includes Point State Park, and is bordered on the east by the Strip District,
the Hill District, and the Bluff (Uptown).
