Charleroi, Pennsylvania
Charleroi is a borough located in Washington County, Pennsylvania, along the Monongahela River, 40 miles (64 km) south of Pittsburgh. Charleroi was settled in 1890 and incorporated in 1891. The population in 1900 stood at 5,930; in 1910, 9,615; in 1920, 11,516, and in 1940, 10,784. As of the 2000 census, the borough had a total population of 4,871. There has been a large-scale cessation of industrial activities in the region. The decrease in the population is associated with the decline of the steel-making industry in the "Mon valley" which extends from Charleroi to the mouth of the Monongahela at Pittsburgh.
