Charleroi, Pennsylvania

Charleroi (/ˈʃɔːlərɔɪ/ SHAW-lə-roy) is a borough in Washington County, Pennsylvania, along the Monongahela River, 21 miles south of Pittsburgh. Charleroi was settled in 1890 and incorporated in 1891. It was named for the city of Charleroi in Belgium, a nation from which many local residents immigrated. The 2010 census recorded a population of 4,120.

There has been a large-scale cessation of industrial activities in the region, especially the steel-making industry, leading to a decrease in the population.
