The phrase "Three Rivers" is associated with the location of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The three rivers in Pittsburgh are the Monongahela River, the Allegheny River and the Ohio River.


The phrase "Three Rivers" has obviously been in use since Whites entered the area. But by the 1970s, it became a marketing campaign strategy. From events like The Three Rivers Arts Festival, every imaginable business and endeavor was named Three Rivers ___. Three Rivers Stadium, now torn down, was home to the Pittsburgh Pirates (Baseball) and was one of the most famous places.
