The western section of Pennsylvania was historically considered part of the Northwest Territory, which was established in the late 18th century. This region included land that would later become Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. The area was significant during the westward expansion of the United States and played a crucial role in early American settlement and development. Additionally, it was a focal point during conflicts such as the French and Indian War and the Whiskey Rebellion.

Is Pittsburgh in the east?

100% East Coast, there is no debate. ------ Pittsburgh has more in common -- economically, culturally, and socially -- with places like Cleveland than it does with East Coast cities. It's all subjective, but I'd consider Western Pennsylvania (including Pittsburgh) to be the eastern boundary of the Midwest. At the very least, it's part of the Rust Belt (which includes Western PA, Ohio, and parts of West Virginia, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin).
