Collinsburg, PA

Collinsburg is a small census-designated place tucked into Rostraver Township in Westmoreland County, on the Monongahela side of the Pittsburgh region. It is not a borough with its own municipal center; the township is the civic frame, and the surrounding roads lead through a landscape that still carries traces of Rostraver’s farming past. Collinsburg’s identity is more township-based than municipal, which is useful to know when you are trying to place it.

The best local landmark to keep in mind is Collinsburg Community Park, one of the places named in Rostraver’s parks and open-space planning. That detail says more about the place than a bare population figure: Collinsburg works as a named neighborhood inside a larger township, with a community park and township services doing the organizing. Fellsburg, Webster, and the river-valley roads are the nearby Rostraver references. If you are placing Collinsburg on a map, think of a compact township community in the Westmoreland lowlands, close enough to the Pittsburgh-area road network to feel connected while still carrying the older village-and-farm pattern of Rostraver.
