About location

South Fayette Township lies along the Chartiers Creek valley, where wooded ridges and low, rolling ground shape the outer suburbs southwest of Pittsburgh. Interstate 79 runs through the township and meets Pennsylvania Route 50 at the Bridgeville interchange, an important road junction for surrounding communities. Much of South Fayette was long rural, but it has developed into a residential and commercial part of Allegheny County while retaining extensive woodland between neighborhoods and highways. The township’s name recalls the Marquis de Lafayette, whose name is commemorated in communities across Pennsylvania.

Region Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania stretches from the shore of Lake Erie to the Delaware River, encompassing Appalachian ridges, plateaus and broad river valleys. Near the state’s geographic centre, the West Branch Susquehanna and its tributaries run through forested country, while the main Susquehanna continues south towards Chesapeake Bay. Philadelphia gives Pennsylvania an enduring place in the story of the United States: Independence Hall was the setting for the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the signing of the Constitution. Former industrial cities, Amish and Mennonite communities, farms and state forests reveal markedly different sides of the Commonwealth.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
