Sewickley

Sewickley is a borough in Allegheny County situated along the Ohio River northwest of Pittsburgh. The community features tree-lined streets with homes, parks, and local gathering spaces that shape daily life for residents.

The land was granted to Revolutionary War veterans, which prompted settlement growth in the following decades. Over time, the area developed into an established residential community within the expanding region.

The Sewickley Cemetery, established in 1860, features memorials dedicated to Civil War veterans and Tuskegee Airmen across its extensive grounds.

The borough sits along a river crossing with a bridge providing access to neighboring communities. Visitors will find a quiet residential setting with convenient proximity to Pittsburgh.

The name comes from Creek language words meaning raccoon town, preserving a Native American connection in its identity. This linguistic heritage remains part of the community's character today.
