History
Pittsburg was established in 1906 as part of a mining operation developed by coal entrepreneur John Colp (for whom nearby Colp is named). Colp named the village for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as he hoped it would achieve that city’s prosperity. Many of the streets in the village were likewise named for locations in Pennsylvania, including Scranton Avenue, Lehigh Valley Avenue, Hocking Valley Avenue, and Pennsylvania Avenue. A post office opened in 1907.
