History of Industrial
Manufacturing In Pennsylvania
In the Keystone State of Pennsylvania, the Industrial
Revolution of America was born. Along with being one of the original 13 states,
Pennsylvania is also the birthplace of industrial manufacturing in the early
20th century. Here the steel industry was the foundation of the state’s
economy.
The second largest steel producer on the planet, also in
Pennsylvania, is US Steel in Pittsburgh. US Steel was founded by America’s most
famous banker J. P. Morgan and an American lawyer Elbert H. Gary in 1901. US
Steel continues to produce steel products today including iron ore, tubular
steel, and flat-rolled steel. The steel company is headquartered in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania at the US Steel Tower.
US Steel bought out another steel magnate, Carnegie Steel
Company, also based in Pittsburgh. When US Steel purchased Carnegie Steel
Company from its founder, the deal made Andrew Carnegie one of the world’s
wealthiest men and a household name.
