Ross Township is located in Allegheny County in the state of Pennsylvania. It has a population of roughly 32,500 and was formed in 1809. The township is named after James Ross, a prominent Pittsburgh attorney.
Ross Township has a rich history that parallels American colonial development. The city began as a small collection of buildings and rest areas along a trail that was frequented by many American traders, soldiers, and settlers. George Washington is said to have traveled along many of the trails that border Ross Township. The land was settled mainly by farmers and soldiers; its economy consisted mainly of agricultural activity. Early establishments included a railway and a fire station. Today the area is largely residential though it still preserves much of the historical feel of its early beginnings. The township is a mix of several modern and old-style residential complexes.
