History

The first European settler in present-day Upper St. Clair was John Fife, who settled near the what is now the intersection of Washington and McLaughlin Run roads in 1762.

St. Clair Township, named after General Arthur St. Clair of Revolutionary War fame who was the 9th President of the United States in Congress Assembled. Under his administration as President, February 2, 1787 to October 29, 1787, the Northwest Ordinance and United States Constitution of 1787 were passed.

St. Clair was one of the original townships of Allegheny County Pennsylvania at the county's creation in 1788. In 1836, the St. Clair Township was divided into two separate townships, Upper St. Clair and Lower St. Clair. The residents of Upper St. Clair formed their township to ensure better government service that could be obtained by separating from the more densely populated northern part of the township. Upper St. Clair Township was further subdivided throughout the 19th and 20th centuries as several parts of the original township separated to form new townships and boroughs. In 1973, Upper St. Clair Township adopted a home rule charter that took effect on January 5, 1976, and is no longer governed by the Pennsylvania Township Code.

The Whiskey Rebellion of 1794 had roots in Upper St. Clair.

Formed as a volunteer militia company in 1844 by residents of the township, the "St. Clair Guards" later became Company H of the 62nd Pennsylvania Volunteers.

The community was home to several mines beginning in the late 19th century. Freehold Real Estate Co. built the first major residential development in March 1913 along Washington Road that at the time was conveniently close to streetcar service.

As of today, the community has many fashionable homes and is considered one of the wealthiest in Pittsburgh.

Education

Upper St. Clair High School (USCHS) is a public high school in Upper St. Clair, Pennsylvania, serving students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Upper St. Clair School District. USCHS is one of three secondary schools in Pennsylvania to be recognized as a Blue Ribbon School three times (in 1984, 1989, and 2000).

The Book Department of the Upper St. Clair Women's Club collected $300 and 2,500 books to establish Upper St. Clair's first library in 1957. The club members and their families cleaned and painted three small rooms on the second floor of Mitchell's Corners Shopping Center.

The library was called the Book Nook and it was truly a grass roots volunteer effort: club members catalogued all the books and took books home with them to apply a protective varnish to the covers. Some financial support came from membership fees, donations and an annual garden party hosted by the Women's Club. The bulk of the funding though, was provided by the Friends of the Library – which was also started in 1957. The Friends raised money for the Book Nook by holding card parties, selling calendars door-to-door throughout the Township and holding fundraisers at Little Lake Dinner Theatre.

In 1958, the Book Nook moved into the newly constructed Township building, though it was still a private library.

In July of 1967, the Women's club turned over control of the library to the Township, and the library became a public library, free to all Township residents. On April 1, 1968, the first paid staff members were hired.

The Commissioners allocated funds to renovate the "large front room" of the Township Building for the Library. In October 1968, three Upper St. Clair Boy Scout troops carried all the books from the old quarters to the new Upper St. Clair Township Library.

In 1985, the library officially became a department of the Township Municipal Government.

In March 1987, the Township library moved into the new three-story addition combined with the remodeled "old" Library facility.
