East Vandergrift Boro
The Borough of East Vandergrift is a vibrant community with a rich history dating back to the days when the Delaware and Shawnee Indians occupied the valley of the Kiskiminetas. The first recorded deed for the land that now constitutes East Vandergrift was on March 5, 1773 and was known as “Three Bottoms”. The land changed hands nearly two dozen times over a hundred-year period before being incorporated into a borough on December 18, 1901, under the name “The Borough of East Vandergrift”. At the time of incorporation, the borough had 75 property owners and a population of 700.
