History

Millvale was formed around iron manufacturers, saw works, stone works, lumber mills, breweries, near the mouth of Girtys Run. In 1849, Herrs Island and the adjacent riverfront land of Reserve Township spanning from its northeastern boundary near Girtys Run downriver to Butcher’s Run, the then-northeastern border of Allegheny City, were incorporated as the Borough of Duquesne (distinct from the modern city of the same name). This Duquesne borough was disincorporated in 1868 and partitioned, the downriver portion being annexed to Allegheny City, while that part upriver of the northern end of Herrs Island was joined with adjacent lands to the north and east taken from Shaler Township to form the borough of Millvale.

Until 1952, the borough was served by the “3 Millvale” trolley operated by Pittsburgh Railways.
