No, the "h" in Pittsburgh was not added to honor Heinz. The city’s name originally came from British General John Forbes, who named it after British statesman William Pitt the Elder in 1758. The spelling with an "h" was officially adopted in 1891, long before the Heinz Company became prominent. However, the Heinz family, particularly H.J. Heinz, has become closely associated with the city's identity over the years.
