Who first settled Pittsburgh pa?

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was first settled by European colonists in the mid-18th century, primarily by the British. The area was originally inhabited by various Native American tribes, including the Shawnee and Delaware. The establishment of Fort Duquesne by the French in 1754 marked a significant moment, leading to British control after the French and Indian War, when the British built Fort Pitt in 1758. This fortification laid the groundwork for the city's development as a major settlement.
