History
Edgeworth Borough was founded in 1904 and took its name from the Edgeworth Female Seminary, a small school for girls that had moved to our community (then called “Sewickley Bottom?) from Pittsburgh in 1836. The Seminary was named for Maria Edgeworth, a well-known Irish writer of the period who was much admired by the founder of the Seminary, Mary Gould Oliver.
As early as 1876, the community had a population of approximately 35 families. Today, Edgeworth Borough is home to more than 650 families who enjoy the ambience of its tree lined streets, its residential nature, and its welcoming character.
