Mount Troy Road
Neighborhood Spring Garden

A road in the location of modern Mount Troy Road appears in maps of Allegheny County from the 1850s and 1860s.[1][2] It was originally called Troy Hill Road,[3][4][5][6][7][a] a name that is preserved today only for the southernmost part of the original road (see Troy Hill Road).

Spring Garden, which includes a small sliver of Mount Troy Road in its northeast corner, was annexed to the city of Pittsburgh in 1920.[10]

Notes

  1. ↑ The 1886 Hopkins atlas incorrectly says "Troy Mill Road."[8][9]
