The French built an outpost on the Allegheny River. The English quickly built a fort to defend their position. They placed it at the junction of the three rivers. The officer choosing the site was, then Major, George Washington. In 1758 Pittsborough was named in honor of the British statesman, William Pitt. After the Revolutionary War, the city, then called Pittsburgh, grew rapidly. By the late 1700's, the iron and steel industry was already being established here. By the turn of the 18th century, the area had a post office, a network of roads and also the first newspaper published west of the Allegheny Mountains, The Pittsburgh Gazette. During the 1800's, Industry won its place in Pittsburgh and gave the city its nickname of "The Iron City." All of this industry also gave Pittsburgh another nickname of "The Smoky City" because of all the billows of smoke from the thousands of stacks in the city. By the end of World War II, steps began to be taken to clean up the air in Pittsburgh. Gradually, the air became cleaner and the area more pleasant with its clearer skies.
