Located along the Kiskiminetas River, Leechburg was known as a major port of the Pennsylvania Canal. Early in the twentieth century, it had been the site of extensive steel sheet works, foundries, cement plants, and productive coal mines. Leechburg was the first place where natural gas was used for industrial purposes.
