Aleppo Township

Built around rural roads and homesteads, Aleppo Township developed into a residential community on the northern edge of Allegheny County. The township lies above the Ohio River, where wooded slopes and creek-cut ground mark the transition between Pittsburgh’s outer suburbs and western Pennsylvania’s rolling uplands. Established in 1876 from part of Kilbuck Township, it has retained a low-density character despite its place within the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. Its name recalls the Syrian city of Aleppo, an unusual link to global geography in this Ohio River setting.
