Living in Beaver County
About Us
Beaver County is located in southwest PA northwest of the city of Pittsburgh. The County is bordered on the west by the states of Ohio and the panhandle of West Virginia; the south by Washington County; the east by Allegheny and Butler counties; and the north by Lawrence County. The predominate feature of the County is the Ohio River, which enters from the southeast and flows to the center of the county before turning southwest and exiting the state to form the boundary between Ohio and West Virginia. The remainder of the County is characterized by gently rolling foothills and valleys of the Appalachian Mountain Range. Beaver County is comprised of 2 incorporated, third class cities (Aliquippa and Beaver Falls), and 52 boroughs and townships.
With the city of Pittsburgh within a short driving distance, County residents enjoy the amenities of big city cultural, recreational, and educational amenities yet avoid the crowded congested life style. The Steelers, Pirates, and Penguins provide major sports for the area, while the opera, ballet, symphony, and many other organizations and events provide area residents with a wide range of entertainment options.
The County consists of 15 public school districts, a countywide Vocational Technical School, a two year community college, the Beaver Campus of Penn State University, and Geneva College. There are also numerous private and parochial schools in the area. Along with nearby major universities such at University of Pittsburgh, Duquesne University, Carnegie Mellon, Robert Morris University and Carlow College, all located in Allegheny County and less than one hour drive from the County; area residents are provided with extensive educational facilities with which to pursue their growth and careers.
The County is served by Heritage Valley Health Systems, which operates the Beaver Medical Center, Sewickley Hospital, with other medical offices and facilities. Major health care is also available at UPMC facilities located throughout western PA.
The County’s Motto, “Divided by its Rivers, United by its People” truly reflect the County’s heritage of a good place to live, work and play.
