Homestead and Mifflin Township shows an era of days gone by through the medium of postcards. Mifflin Township was one of the seven original townships when Allegheny County was formed, and it covered the Monongahela River as well as the present-day communities of Clairton, Duquesne, Dravosburg, Hays, Homestead, Jefferson Hills, Lincoln Place, Munhall, Pleasant Hills, West Elizabeth, West Homestead, West Mifflin, and Whitaker. The original Mifflin Township ran along the Monongahela River from Hays (Six Mile Ferry) to present-day West Elizabeth. The area began as a quiet farming community in the 1850s but had become a great industrial steel giant by the dawn of the 20th century. Local steel mills produced vast quantities of rail, structural steel, and armaments for both world wars. This collection shows Homestead and Mifflin Townships industrial achievements, architecture, and places of entertainment.

Mifflin County was carved out of the wilderness along the Colonial Pennsylvania frontier among the valleys of the Juniata River. American Indians occupied the area for millennia prior to the Albany Treaty of 1754, which opened the area to European settlement. The French and Indian War raged here, but settlers returned to establish the county. Named for Thomas Mifflin, Pennsylvania's first governor, the county was established in 1789, developing as a transportation hub in turnpike and canal days, as well as during the founding of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Iron produced in the 19th century in Mifflin County was considered the best in America. Through vintage photographs and images, Mifflin County highlights the founding, development, and heritage of this area in central Pennsylvania.
