The Pittsburgh Steelers are named after the city's steel industry, which was a dominant economic force in the region during the early 20th century. Founded in 1933, the team was initially called the "Pittsburgh Pirates" before adopting the name "Steelers" in 1940 to honor the hardworking steelworkers. The name reflects the team's connection to Pittsburgh's industrial heritage and the blue-collar spirit of its fans.
