North Charleroi, PA

North Charleroi is a small, quiet borough tucked along the Monongahela River in Washington County, about 30 miles south of Pittsburgh. Many longtime locals still call the area Lock 4, a nickname from the old river lock and dam that used to stand here. Sitting right across the water from Monessen, the neighborhood shares a close connection with surrounding river towns, with the local bridge making trips across the valley quick and easy.
