Sheraden is a neighborhood that is located in the West End of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the United States. [2] Nearby neighborhoods include Windgap, Chartiers City, Crafton Heights, Esplen, and Elliott.
This neighborhood was named for William Sheraden, a settler who gave land for the construction of a railroad depot in exchange for the naming rights. [3] Sheraden's original homestead still stands at 2803 Bergman Street, easily distinguished by the two sycamore trees which grew together to form an arch, a legacy of Sheraden's horticulturalist grandson. [4]
Originally incorporated as Sheraden Borough in 1894, this town grew quickly and was annexed by the city of Pittsburgh in 1907. [4] Shortly thereafter, the Pittsburgh school board opened multiple educational facilities around Sheraden, including Langley High School, which was completed in 1923 and replaced the former borough's Riverview High School.
Sheraden grew to become a hub for Irish and German immigrants to Pittsburgh; however, in the 1970s when suburbia increased in popularity, the Irish and Germans moved from Sheraden into Robinson and Crafton. Most of the Irish schoolchildren went to Holy Innocents grade school, which is currently closed along with its parish. Holy Innocents also had a high school.
