Mahoningtown, also known as "Motown", is a neighborhood in the southwestern part of the city of New Castle, Pennsylvania, United States. Though it is named for the nearby Mahoning River, the city actually sits on the banks of the Shenango River. The two rivers merge and become the Beaver River just south of the city.
Mahoningtown is located in Lawrence County at latitude 40.975 and longitude -80.372.[1] Located about two and one-half miles south of New Castle in Taylor township,[2] Mahoningtown was at one time a separate municipality before being annexed by New Castle. Mahoningtown officially became the seventh ward of New Castle, Pennsylvania in 1898.[3]
