History of Bridgeville
excerpted from the town's website
The village that eventually became Bridgeville acquired its name from the very first bridge built at the crossing of Chartiers Creek at the south end of what is now Washington Avenue. This is the place where the Catfish Path crossed the creek, as later did Colonel Noble's Trace and Black Horse Trail.
Notable events in the borough include the annual Memorial Day Parade, which runs through the town on Washington Avenue. Bridgeville is located within the Chartiers Valley School District and is in the Char-West Council of Governments for Allegheny County
