McKeesport, Industrial city in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, US.
McKeesport sits where the Monongahela and Youghiogheny rivers meet, southeast of Pittsburgh, across several square miles of land. The city shows residential neighborhoods, parks, and industrial structures that shape its appearance today.
Steel manufacturing arrived in 1872 when a major tube works opened, turning the area into a manufacturing hub. This industry shaped the population and growth of the city for more than a century.
