Allegheny County, Pennsylvania is within the Pittsburgh metro area, in the heart of the Mid-Atlantic States. As of the 2000 Census, the Allegheny County population was 1,281,666.

Allegheny County is renowned for the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers, which flow through the county and meet in Pittsburgh, the county seat. Access to these rivers and an abundance of natural resources played a primary role in transforming the Allegheny area into a leading center for business and commerce. While the early economy relied heavily on the production of grain, steel and whiskey, Allegheny now focuses on education, finance, health care and high technology. There are currently eight Fortune 500 companies thriving in this strong economy, including Heinz, PPG Industries and General Nutrition Centers.

Centrally located, Allegheny County is only a short distance from many of the world's leading commercial centers, including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C. and Toronto, Canada. These burgeoning markets account for more than half of the populations of both the United States and Canada and over half of America's buying income. Allegheny's transportation system utilizes all modes of travel including modern aviation facilities, highways, railways and waterways with more than 1,700 bridges. As a result, Allegheny County has unparalleled access to worldwide markets.

Allegheny County has over thirty colleges and universities, the majority of which are located in Pittsburgh. These include Carlow University, Carnegie Mellon University, Chatham College and the University of Pittsburgh.  In addition, sporting events, museums, parks and an abundance of cultural arts provide visitors and residents alike with a multitude of choices for year-round entertainment. Sports enthusiasts enjoy the Pittsburgh Steelers, Penguins, Pirates, Passion, Riverhounds and a variety of amateur league teams. Popular tourist attractions include the Carnegie Science Center, Pittsburgh Opera, the Andy Warhol Museum, Point State Park, Heinz Field, Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium.  Pittsburgh is renowned as an art and culture Mecca and in fact, cultural activities draw larger audiences than the local sports events.

Allegheny County offers its residents an enviable quality of life. Four distinct seasons highlight the stunning landscape, graced with rolling hills and scenic river valleys . Average temperatures range from 18 degrees in January to 83 degrees in July. Area housing prices and the cost of living rank among the most affordable in the nation. In addition, Allegheny County takes pride in having the lowest crime rates for any metropolitan area with over one million residents.
