German, Italian, and Irish colonies were part of the first racial makeup in this territory named after David Leech, who laid out the town. Leechburg was incorporated to the Armstrong County map back in the 1850s, and since then it has been a very quiet municipality. Regular topography, 0.5 square miles of territory elevated 800 feet above sea level, and neighbor of West Leechburg, Hyde Park, North Vandergrift-Pleasant View, Vandergriff, and East Vandergrift; could be the brief resume of the geographic profile of this land home of more than 2300 people in Pittsburgh metro area. The population of this borough is mostly dedicated to the metal, construction, and health care industries.
