Pittsburg County, County in southeastern Oklahoma, United States.
Pittsburg County extends across 1,378 square miles of land featuring the Ouachita Mountains in its southeastern section and numerous water bodies throughout the terrain.
The territory belonged to the Choctaw Nation until 1907, when it became a county named after Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, due to its similar coal production.
The county contains multiple communities including McAlester, Haileyville, and Hartshorne, where residents maintain strong connections to their Native American and mining heritage.
The County Board operates through three commissioners who manage public services, infrastructure maintenance, and emergency response systems across different districts.
The McAlester ammunition depot, constructed during World War II, employed 8,000 workers in 1945 before transitioning to U.S. Army control in 1977.
