Get to know O'Hara
The practical stuff — trash day, town hall, schools — plus the town’s story and where to go. Kept current by neighbors.
Fix a detail, add a fact, or just confirm something’s still right. A change goes live once two neighbors confirm it — and you earn karma for keeping the guide fresh.
Add a fact and it’s pending until two neighbors confirm it (or one Steward) — then it goes live and you earn the points. Confirming earns +1 right away, and you can’t confirm your own. Explainers are one neighbor’s take, so they post right away. A fact’s stamp turns from green to amber as it ages, nudging a re-check.
The basics
About O'Hara
Township in Pennsylvania, USO'Hara Township is a township with home rule status in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, United States, six miles northeast of Downtown Pittsburgh. The community was long organized as a township, and retains "Township" in its official name, but adopted a home rule charter in 1973 (taking effect on January 5, 1976) and is no longer subject to the Pennsylvania Township Code. The population was 9,288 at the 2020 census. It is named for James O'Hara, an early American industrialist in western Pennsylvania, and a Revolutionary War general.
