Visit Monroeville
Located just 12 miles east of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the City of Monroeville is home to welcoming residential communities, as well as a variety of large and small businesses, bustling shopping districts, world-class health care providers, and extraordinary schools. It’s no surprise that some 30,000 residents are proud to call Monroeville home. Monroeville’s social and economic climate comes thanks in part to easily accessible interstate highways, first-rate governmental services, and proximity to Pittsburgh — all in a region consistently ranked among the nation’s “most livable.”
In the late 1700s what was to become Monroeville was nothing more than a few scattered farms. The Monroeville Historical Society maintains several sites that provide visitors with a glimpse of simpler times and a rich history of the area including The Old Stone Church, The McGinley House, and The McCully Log House. You can even tour an educational coal mine and museum — Tour Ed Mine — in nearby Tarentum to see one of the main jobs of our first residents.
In the more than 200 years that have passed, Monroeville has become a thriving suburban center of commerce and home to some 30,000 residents. Over years of careful planning with the needs of its citizens in mind, Monroeville has flourished into a vibrant collection of neighborhoods that offer residents and businesses an unmatched quality of life. Monroeville isn’t just Southwestern Pennsylvania’s second-largest retail center — it also offers a breadth of career and educational opportunities. Combining a spectacular location, rich history, and progressive attitude, Monroeville is truly the ideal place to live and visit.
