Lawrenceville has a history.
Settled by native Americans in the eighteenth
century, site of George Washington's brush with chilly death, home of the
Allegheny Arsenal, and once a center of
industry, Lawrenceville is also people, people
who live there because they choose to and who passionately love their
neighborhood. Birthplace of Fritzie Zivic, World
Welterweight Champion, Lawrenceville is a community whose ethnic diversity
bred a toughness and a grace typical of Pittsburgh.
Reflected in the music and lyrics of one of America's greatest composers,
Lawrenceville native, Stephen Foster, the
feeling
for family and home and the pioneer spirit still possess Lawrenceville and
Western Pennsylvania today.
