About Ford City

Ford City is a small river town set along the east bank of the Allegheny River in Armstrong County. While it got its start as a bustling glass-making center in the late 1800s, today it offers a much quieter pace of life. The paved Armstrong Trail runs right through town along the water, giving locals a great spot for walking, biking, and taking in views of the river. It is a close-knit community with affordable housing and plenty of western Pennsylvania charm.
