Digital History Project

Mt. Lebanon Public Library and The Historical Society of Mt. Lebanon welcome you to this online historical archive. It represents the proud and storied history of this community.


Although the first land patent was surveyed in 1770, Mt. Lebanon's rural countryside began to change in 1901 when the first streetcar arrived. It soon became "Pittsburgh's premier automobile suburb," a distinctive example of the desire to live outside America's cities.
