Braddock, Pennsylvania, a historic town on the Monongahela River, has a rich and significant history. Once a thriving mill town and cultural center, Braddock was home to Andrew Carnegie's first steel mill, which has played a pivotal role in the town's economy since its construction in 1872. Braddock and nearby communities experienced the effects of industrial decline in the 1960s and 1970s, resulting in a loss of vitality and a decline in population. Despite these challenges, our community offers opportunities for revitalization and renewal. Dedicated individuals have sought to further positive change and social justice in the area. Braddock's unique qualities lie in its historical significance as an industrial hub, its resilient community, and ongoing initiatives to promote art, urban renewal, and organic farming.
