Wilkinsburg: Pittsburgh's Eastern Border Neighbor
Wilkinsburg is a borough in Allegheny County immediately east of the City of Pittsburgh. Its 2.3-square-mile area is entirely surrounded by Pittsburgh and Penn Hills. The population is around 14,500. Wilkinsburg was incorporated in 1887 and has retained an independent borough government despite multiple proposals over the decades to merge with Pittsburgh. The community was historically a streetcar suburb developed around Penn Avenue and the Pennsylvania Railroad's main line.
The borough has a dense urban residential character, with a mix of brick rowhomes, twin houses, and mid-sized apartment buildings. The commercial corridor along Penn Avenue has a collection of historic buildings from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, though the business district has struggled economically for decades. The Wilkinsburg Pennsylvania Railroad Station, designed in the Beaux-Arts style, has been preserved as a historic landmark.
Wilkinsburg is served by Port Authority bus routes and the East Busway, a dedicated bus rapid transit corridor opened in 1983 and extended in 2003. The East Busway is the oldest dedicated BRT right-of-way in the United States. The Wilkinsburg School District, which operates the elementary grades locally, contracts with the Pittsburgh Public Schools for middle and high school education.
