Greensburg, PA is located in Westmoreland County 30 miles east of Pittsburgh, PA. History records the first building in Greensburg was an Inn built along a wagon road that stretched from Philadelphia to Fort Pitt. A small settlement of Newtown grew around the Inn. Today that spot is the intersection of Pittsburgh and Main Streets. Hannastown, the original county seat in Westmoreland County, was destroyed by a fire in 1782 in a raid by Seneca Indians and Canadian Rangers. The county seat was moved to Newtown in 1785 where a log courthouse was built. In 1799 it was renamed Greensburg after Revolutionary War General Nathanael Green. Modern day Greensburg has a population of nearly 16,000 residents and approximately 57,000 reside in the Greater Greensburg Area. Greensburg is home to Seton Hill University. A few of the many places of interest to visit include: The Greensburg Railway Station The Palace Theater Westmoreland County Courthouse Westmoreland Museum of Art In 2007, Greensburg was designated as one of the "best places to retire" in Pennsylvania by U.S. News & World Report.
