  • Description
  • In 1905 Jones & Laughlin Steel Company, desiring to expand and diversify its products, acquired property in Woodland, Pennsylvania, approximately 20 miles from Pittsburgh. In 1907 ground was broken here for the new mill that would come to be known as the Aliquippa Works. In 1908 the tunnel leading to the Aliquippa Works, shown here in the photograph, was constructed. The Aliquippa Works, the largest industrial plant in Beaver County, employing about 14,950 men and women at its peak, was shut down in 1989.
