About location

Franklin Park has served as a suburban community in Allegheny County since the 20th century. The borough lies in rolling, wooded country north of Pittsburgh, where Interstate 79 forms a major north–south route through western Pennsylvania. Around Nicholson Road, divided carriageways, broad grassy medians and roadside tree cover illustrate the area’s blend of residential development and transport infrastructure. I-79 links the Pittsburgh area with Erie to the north and West Virginia to the south, giving Franklin Park practical connections beyond its quiet suburban streets. The borough takes its name from Benjamin Franklin, reflecting a longstanding Pennsylvania naming tradition.

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.
