Sewickley Heights

Sewickley Heights is an administrative division in Pennsylvania featuring diverse topography with hiking paths and bridle trails throughout its landscape. The community sits along the northern shore of the Ohio River, blending open spaces with established residential areas.

In the early 1900s, particularly during the 1920s and 1930s, the area became a retreat for wealthy industrialists from Pittsburgh. That era left behind a layer of mansions and estates that shape the landscape today.

The name Sewickley comes from a Delaware word meaning 'sprudling water', referring to the streams flowing through the area. Visitors can observe these water features today while walking through the green, affluent neighborhood.

Borough Hall is located on the Allegheny Country Club grounds and can be reached via Country Club Road. The Mt. Nebo exit of Interstate 79 provides the main access point to the area.

Walking through the area, visitors can still find remnants of former grand estates such as stone walls and gatehouse structures. These architectural fragments tell the story of the place's wealthy past, even as modern residences now join them in shaping the community.
