About Dunbar

Fifty-four miles south of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Dunbar is home to just over 1,000 residents an hour outside of the big city. The area hosts the annual Fayette County Fair and is home to Pechin’s Shopping Village. The city was named after British Colonel Thomas Dunbar who failed to capture the French Fort Duquesne in 1755 during the French and Indian War. Severe depression hit Dunbar following the fall of the mining industries although the area has refocused on residential development. Residents of a Dunbar house or apartment for rent tend to work in Pittsburgh due to the severe lack of jobs located in Dunbar itself. In fact, most shopping and business is done in nearby Uniontown that also hosts the area’s sole train station.

In addition to the county fair, residents of an apartment or home rental in Dunbar look forward to the Dunbar Community Fest that entices over 90% of the area’s population. The tight-knit feeling is what keeps some families in Dunbar. The Connellsville Area School District is comprised of 12 campuses for K-12 education, although only 3 campuses are actually in Dunbar. However, students who attend high school enroll in nearby towns and cities where the schools have ample room just a few minutes away. Ohiopyle State Park a couple miles away provides an excellent opportunity for forest exploration in addition to weekend camping and morning jogs.
