A few more nicknames that are no longer in use, but are still well known to most Pittsburghers are:
"The Smoky City" or "Hell with the Lid Off" because of manufacturing and heating. Pittsburgh received this moniker in the 1800s when we were a top producer of boats and iron. Business would run their ovens on coal, which left smoke throughout the city. People also heated their homes this way.
"The Gateway to the West." Given to us because we were a trading town, during the 1700s and well into the 1800s. The moniker diminished as other states farther west were added.
"The Birmingham of America." A moniker given to Pittsburgh by Dr. Nathaniel Bedford (Southside), who grew up in Birmingham, England. This name meant that Pittsburgh was an industrial town that was well on its way.
