north charleroi

Charleroi Borough, located along the Monongahela River in Washington County, Pennsylvania, was established as an industrial hub primarily focused on glass manufacturing. Founded in 1890 and incorporated a year later, Charleroi emerged as a key player in the Industrial Revolution, attracting a diverse community of immigrants, including many skilled Belgian glassmakers.

As a result of its booming glass industry, Charleroi developed a vibrant commercial district that transformed the town into the Mid-Mon Valley area's shopping center. Today, it continues to serve as a hybrid of industrial, residential, and commercial spaces while honoring its rich historical legacy.
