City in Pennsylvania renamed for Steelers
January 30, 2006
WASHINGTON, Pa. – Just to make sure there’s no confusion about which football team they support in the Super Bowl, the mayor and council changed the city’s name.
Welcome to Steeler, Pa.
The name change will last through Feb. 5, when the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Seattle Seahawks play for the football championship.
“I know the folks in the state of Washington are rooting for the Seahawks, so we wanted to make sure everyone knows the city of Washington is fully in support of the Steelers,” said Mayor Kenneth J. Westcott.
The city of about 15,000 people is south of Pittsburgh.
