Indiana Township Homes and Condos for Sale

In 1798, Jacob Huddle and Henry Strohm moved to the area of modern-day Indiana Township from Germany. Back then, Pittsburgh, the state’s capital, was only but a small borough and the land around it mostly rural. Indiana Township became Allegheny County’s fourth township in 1805, driven by the “coal culture,” it attracted many people from around the country who were looking for work in the mining industry. Coal mining flourished in Indiana Township for three reasons: its proximity to the Allegheny River, the extensive railroad system, and the rich coal deposits found buried in the earth. A few of the critical areas within Indiana Township include the Beechwood Farms Nature Reserve, Consulate Health Care, the Harmarville Rehabilitation Center, the Mary Flinn Lawrence Estate (Hartwood Acres), and the Singing Winds site for the Council of the Three Rivers American Indian Center. Shaler and Hampton Townships border Indiana Township to the west, O’Hara Township to the southwest, Harmar Township and Fox Chapel to the south, Frazer Township to the east, and West Deer Township to the north.
