Thornburg Conservation Park
The Borough of Thornburg, established in 1899, is located in Southwestern Pennsylvania, just 4 miles from downtown Pittsburgh, and is characterized by its scenic hillsides and views of Chartiers Creek. The community is a notable example of early suburban planning, originally developed on 250 acres by cousins Frank and David Thornburg, and today offers residents a pastoral setting with parks and recreational opportunities alongside convenient access to the city.
Thornburg has a rich history, including being the site of Pennsylvania's first railroad built for coal transport in 1849. The borough continues to foster a strong sense of community through its public parks, community center, and local government engagement, making it a desirable place for families and individuals seeking a suburban lifestyle.
