Located in southwestern Pennsylvania in Allegheny County, Pittsburgh is a city of hills, valleys, and plentiful natural resources. The Allegheny and Monongahela rivers unite at the point of the “Golden Triangle” (Central Business District) to form the Ohio River. Much of The Golden Triangle has been redeveloped in the last few decades including projects such as the Civic Arena, Point State Park and Gateway Center.
