Aliquippa Wedding

Aliquippa is a city in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, United States and is part of the Pittsburgh Metro Area. The city was founded via the merger of three pre-existing towns, Aliquippa (now called West Aliquippa), Woodlawn, and New Sheffield. According to legend, it was named after Queen Alliquippa. The population was 11,734 at the 2000 census. Aliquippa is best known as the location of a productive steel mill that J & L Steel constructed there along the Ohio River beginning in 1905. Employment at the facility sustained a population of 27,023 in 1940. The mill closed during the collapse of the steel industry during the 1980s. This major economic loss alongside suburbanization caused a major population loss through the end of the 20th century.

Famous Aliquippans include Jesse Steinfeld (former U.S. Surgeon General), Mike Ditka, Tony Dorsett, Ty Law, Sean Gilbert, Henry Mancini, Pete Maravich, and Pete Suder.

The youngest Aliquippa Council member in history was Joseph Piroli. He was 23 years old when elected in 1995. He served on Council from 1996-1999.
