Pittsburgh Pittsburgh was near huge deposits of iron ore (used to make steel) and its location on three rivers helped it transport finished steel all over the country. By the 1900s, Pittsburgh manufactured half of the nation’s steel and was one of the world’s largest steel manufacturing centers. © Brain Wrinkles
