Broughton, Pennsylvania
Unincorporated community in Pennsylvania, United States / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Broughton is an unincorporated community in South Park Township, Pennsylvania, United States. Originally named Curry after Joseph Curry, a frontier physician and coroner of Allegheny County in 1810, it was renamed Broughton, to avoid confusion with the nearby Curry Hollow and the Curry in Blair County.[1] It is located at the junction of Brownsville Road, Curry Road, and Broughton Road. Broughton was racially integrated in the early 20th century, due to coal miners working nearby mines in Horning.[2] It was the location of Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Company's No. 5 mine.
