Kittanning, County seat borough in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, United States.
The 1.0-square-mile municipality sits along the eastern bank of the Allegheny River, 36 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, with a population of 3,921 residents.
European settlers established Kittanning in 1803 at the location of a former Lenape village, which was previously destroyed during the French and Indian War in 1756.
The name Kittanning originates from the Lenape word 'kithanink', reflecting the Native American perception of the Allegheny and Ohio rivers as one main waterway.
The Armstrong School District serves the educational needs of Kittanning students, while the public library, established in 1923, provides resources to the community.
The Kittanning Citizens Bridge replaced an older structure and gained recognition through its appearance in the film 'The Mothman Prophecies'.
