Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh is a city located in Pennsylvania, United States of America, on the planet Earth. It is situated at the point where the Allegheny River and the Monongahela River meet to form the Ohio River. The city was founded on November 25th, 1758 by General John Forbes when the British captured Fort Duquesne during the French and Indian War (Seven Years' War). Between the 1850s and the 1980s, Pittsburgh became a major industrial center. The largest manufactured material in the city was steel. It was the steel that helped build some of the largest structures on Earth during the 20th century.

The city was also the site to one of greatest sports teams in America. They included the Steelers, the Pirates, and the Penguins. At the turn of the 20th Century, there were two African-American baseball teams in Pittsburgh. One was the Crawfords, and the Homestead Grays. Benjamin Sisko (who is a fan of baseball) can be seen wearing a Grays ballcap in a few episodes of Deep Space Nine.
