Hermitage: A Mercer County City on the Ohio Border
Hermitage is a city in Mercer County, in western Pennsylvania immediately adjacent to Sharon and the Ohio state line. The population is approximately 15,800. The community was organized as a township in 1811 and became a home-rule city in 1984, taking its name from the Hermitage, a nineteenth-century estate in the area. Hermitage is part of the broader Shenango Valley metropolitan area, which also includes Sharon, Farrell, and several smaller communities.
Steel and steel-related industries shaped the Shenango Valley through much of the twentieth century. The Sharon Steel Corporation and Westinghouse Electric's transformer plant were among the major employers, with their decline in the 1970s and 1980s significantly reshaping the regional economy. Hermitage has since developed as a commercial and retail center for the valley, with Shenango Valley Mall and several business parks along Route 62 and State Street.
The Avenue of 444 Flags at Hillcrest Memorial Park in Hermitage is a memorial to the 444 days of the Iran hostage crisis. The memorial was established in 1979 by park superintendent Thomas E. Flynn and is visited by thousands of people each year. The city is served by the Hermitage School District, with Hickory High School as the local public high school.
