History

The first transmission from pioneering radio station KDKA (AM) was made from East Pittsburgh on November 2, 1920.

In 1928, an early demonstration of a new broadcast medium was conducted at the Westinghouse laboratories in East Pittsburgh. Eventually, the new medium became known as television. Vladimir Zworykin worked for Westinghouse Electric Corporation at that time. He lived in the borough of Wilkinsburg. The Westinghouse Works became the Research and Business Park “Keystone Commons” in 1989.

The East Pittsburgh School District included Bessemer Avenue Elementary School and East Pittsburgh Junior/Senior High School on Howard Street. East Pittsburgh’s school colors were green and white, and its athletic teams were called the Shamrocks.

During the 1970–71 school year, the East Pittsburgh School District was merged, by court order, with the neighboring Turtle Creek School District for the following year. In the final basketball game between the two rivals, the Shamrocks defeated Turtle Creek, 65–63.
