About Donora

Located on the banks of the Monongahela River, Donora was founded in 1794 as an industrial settlement created around the agriculture, coal-mining, steel-making, and wire-making markets. Due to the drastic downturn in the local economy, almost to non-existence, the Donora’s population has dropped to about 5,000 residents in recent years. Residents of a Donora house or apartment for rent find that the city’s location 24 miles south of Pittsburgh allows for easy commutes into the city where the majority of the population has found work. The local Mida Industrial Park is just a fraction of the size it once was.

As the hometown of sports legends like Ken Griffey, Jr. and Joe Montana, Donora has been the beneficiary of many athletic facilities including the Legion Field Football Stadium, Griffey Baseball Fields, 4 tennis courts, 4 soccer fields, and a dozen basketball courts. Residents of an apartment or home rental in Donora find Palmer Park to be another recreational asset to the Donora community as it provides waterfront views, beautiful nature trails, and thousands of trees to picnic under. Additionally, following the banks of the Monongahela is a set of parallel rail tracks that provide regional transportation and an efficient alternative to driving into Pittsburgh.
