A lithograph by
Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler showing the town of
New Kensington, Pennsylvania, in 1896. Originally part of Burrell (and later
Lower Burrell) Township, the city of New Kensington was founded in 1891. During the public sale held on June 10, 1891, thousands of people came to the area, including a number of investors, including the Pittsburgh Reduction Company, which later became
Alcoa. The city continued to grow and, as of 2010, New Kensington has a population of 13,116.
