Allegheny, PA

Until 1780 with the extension of the Mason-Dixon Line this area was part of the disputed region claimed by both Pennsylvania and Virginia. At the time Pennsylvania considered it to be part of Westmoreland County, while Virginia included it in Yohogania County.
In 1788, Allegheny County was officially created from parts of Washington and Westmoreland Counties.
