The original name of Pittsburgh is Fort Duquesne. The current city of Pittsburgh is from the conglomeration of two towns, "Pittsburg" (without the 'h') and "Allegeny" (also without an 'h') just across the Allegheny River. Fort Duquesne was a Fench and Indian War outpost captured by George Washington in the aforementioned conflict renaming it "Fort Pitt" after the British Prime Minister of Lowland Scottish descent at the advice of Washington's Scottish aide-du-camp.
