the position of Artoona in Blair County

According to the Bureau of Statistics of the United States of America, the total area of Artoona is 9.8 square miles (25.3 km ²) and all land. in the Allegheny Mountains, with latitude 40 degrees 30 minutes 39 seconds north and longitude 78 degrees 23 minutes 38 seconds west and latitude 40.51083 degrees north and longitude 78.39389 degrees west/ 40.51083 degrees west; -78.39389.

Artoona, a railroad town, started when the Pennsylvania Railroad Company set up its factory in 1849. It was established as a ward on February 6, 1854, and became a city by the law enforced on April 3, 1867 and on February 8, 1868. The population grew rapidly in the 19th century, from 2,000 in 1854 to 10,000 in 1870 and 20,000 in 1880.

The name Artoona is derived from the Latin word "Artus" (altus).

During the Civil War, demand for locomotives increased, which stimulated the growth of Artoona City, and by the latter half of the war, the city became known as a valuable city for the Northern Army. In mid-1863, the Northern Virginia army, which was led by Southern Army General Robert E. Lee, was targeted when the Southern Army invaded Pennsylvania, but the Southern Army was repelled in the Battle of Gettysburg. It is also famous for holding a Taka-ha Gubernatorial meeting at the Logan House Hotel in the city.

The Horseshoe Curve, which is a famous track of the Pennsylvania Railroad, became a tourist attraction and a national historic site. The curve was used to raise the level enough to go west beyond the Allegheny Mountains, and then led to the iron town of Pittsburgh, and to the west. As it was an industrial artery to the west, it was the main target of eight Nazi obstruction agents who infiltrated the United States in World War II (1942). These operatives had been taken off the German Navy U-boat during Operation Pastorius.

In the early 20th century, the railway's Artoona plant employed about 15,000 people at its peak, and had a total floor area of 37 acres (^{150,000 meters} 2) and an indoor work site of 3 miles (5 km) long and 218 acres (880,000 m²), with a total floor area of 122222 acres. The Pennsylvania Railway produced many of its locomotives at the factory and had 7,873 cars built by 1946.

The railroad had a great influence on the city, and the City Fire and Disaster Management Bureau was built, and the hospital was moved to the vicinity of the main gate of the factory. Today, the fire department employs 65 people and has the largest number of people between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh. The railroad sponsored the city's music team and built a cricket ground (a sports complex). In 1853, the Railway constructed the Mechanics Library, which became the first industrial library in Japan and still remains as the Altoona Public Library. After World War II, demand for railway declined, and everything started to decline steadily, and most of the factories were abolished. Including the Logan House Hotel mentioned above, the precious assets in the history of the city have also disappeared.

Artuna City is one of the dual bases of the Roman Catholic Church, Artoona Johnstown. The Brest Sacramento Cathedral was named after the St. John's Church in 1851.

The newspaper "Artoona Miller" was first published by Harry Slop in 1876 and is the oldest media in Artoona. The number of copies published today is 32,000 every day, and the Sunday edition is 39,000. About 13,000 people read the newspaper on line every day.

Lake Mont Park in Artuna City has the world's oldest wooden roller coaster, Leep the Dip.

The main areas of Artoona are downtown (central), Dutchhill, East End, Pleasant Valley, Planck Road Commercial District, Juniuta, Logantown, Fairview, Eldorado, Fifth Ward and Industrial Park. In many old areas, terrace houses and single houses are mixed together, and each of them is a common building in a railway town served as a house for workers and supervisors.

downtown

Square and clock in the center of Artoona Downtown

The downtown area is the cultural and commercial center of Artoona, and is located across a famous railroad. Most of the downtown areas are registered with national historic facilities. Popular historic sites include the Micheler Theater, Pen Alto Building (originally the Pen Alt Hotel), Gables Building, City Hall, Brest Sacramento Cathedral, Jaffa Mosque and Eleven Streets.

Unlike most big cities, the exact boundary of downtown is not specifically defined because there is no natural boundary. Residents tend to conservative define the downtown boundaries of the city, or the commercial center, but the official source defines them as those that include all the high- and medium-density areas. Generally, Route 764 (Sixth Avenue) through Route 16 (and Willow Avenue in the Loganstown area) in the east-west and Route 36 (Eighteenth Avenue) in the north-south direction up from Platform 4 in the north-south direction to Route 36 (Eighteenth Street) in the Pennsylvania State Road. At times, it is considered to have expanded to No. 24 in the south and beyond. It is sometimes said that the street runs from No. 11 to No. 19 along Sanbangai in the east.

As is often the case with traditional cities, downtown is located in the center of the city and contains important development sites in all directions. At the commercial center of downtown, there are many multi-storied houses, commercial and mixed-use facilities designed at the turn of the 20th century, and they are a mixture of the Victorian style, the Edward Baroque style and the new Romanesque style. This style is characterized by a high ceiling, which is taller than a building with the same number of stories. The high ceiling is typically made of tin or gypsum, and occasionally a hanging ceiling is used.

The single-family housing was originally provided as the residence of the supervisor and manager of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and although it can be recognized that there is structural similarity to the Victorian or Edward style residences, it is very narrow and high and has little clearance from the next door. These were sometimes used for two or three families, and in some cases, they were converted into commercial spaces. Outside the commercial center, multi-storied commercial facilities, mixed-use facilities, single-story commercial facilities, apartments, apartment houses, apartment houses and single-house houses were built in a mixed state.

The downtown area also features several churches, including the Brest Sacramento Cathedral at the corner of No. 13 and No. 13, the Presbyterian Church at the corner of No. 12 and No. 14 and No. 12. The Station Medical Center, which was originally called the Station Mall, was a downtown mall built in the 1970s at the site of many old railway shops. The downtown area also includes most of what is called the Little Italy area.

As typical for many cities in the last belt, the economic recession in the railroad forced many historic shops and factories in downtown areas to close down. At the same time, with the rise of automobiles, the center of commercial development moved to the suburbs. However, due to the efforts to revitalize the town in recent years, the city downtown of Artoona still has a very high level of economic vitality, and there are few vacant rooms in offices and residences. As shown by the fact that the bridge and the underground passage over the railroad track (connecting the two downtown sections) are not the expressway, the downtown area is oriented toward the sidewalk.

The Pennsylvania State University, Artoona, has purchased several downtown buildings, including the former Playhouse Theater, the six-story Pen Furniture Building and the former WRTA Broadcasting Station Building. The university has provided a flow of people entering downtown and has contributed to the revitalization effort. Using the university's value for the downtown economy as an example, placing a blue lot near the Woolf Court's building has provided a three-hour free parking lot that has improved the economic appeal to downtown. A bicycle path is proposed connecting the campus and downtown.

The characteristic but little known fact is that in 1918 Texas Hot Dog was first made in downtown Artuna. However, the Texas hot dog in Patterson, New Jersey, established in 1924, is more famous.

Dutch Hill and Pleasant Valley

The Dutchhill area is located near the Bunkyo area, which extends across the border of downtown, and Sixth Avenue and Interstate Expressway Route 99 run east to west, and Kettle Street, which runs from 25th Street to the north and south. The area from Walton Avenue to Interstate Expressway Route 99 is also called Pleasant Valley and includes a part of Little Italy. The Dutchhill district has many historic blocks and traditional "street stalls." The construction of the Artoona Regional Secondary School has gradually blurred the boundary between the Dutchhill's Literary District and downtown. This is because the main Artoona regional cultural district extends to Fourth Avenue, which is not part of the downtown. However, since the area is a historical part of Artoona's early development area, it is included in No. 11 to No. 19 in the Dutchhill district's low-rise to No. 3 as part of downtown.

fair view

The border between downtown and Fairview is somewhat vague, because it is less densely populated when part of the Fair View descends to No. 13, while the downtown area of No. 18 is slightly denser. There are some houses from Thirteenth Street to Sixteenth Street, and from Sixteenth Street to Eighteenth Street there are tall offices, retail and apartments. Part of the downtown near Fairview and many of the houses on the Fairview Lowlands are originally medium-density residences owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad administrators and managers. The best example of this is the Pen Alt Residential Hotel located at the corner of Thirteenth Street and Twelfth Street, and next to it is a two-house house. On the other hand, there are several multi-storied and commercial compound buildings on Seventeenth Street. The Fair View can be called a downtown area where you can expect to find it outside the downtown area. One block of downtown is called the "Lower Fair View" because it is adjacent to the Fair View.

industrial district

The Industrial District, close to Margaret Avenue, Broad Avenue and Beer Avenue, extends from No. 17 to No. 38. Some of the industrial districts are considered to be part of downtown. It is named because of historical manufacturing facilities such as Boyer Candies. Many factories are here and major industrial areas, but unlike their names, there are many industries along the railway lines in downtown, Logantown, Eldorado and Juniuta.

Eldorado

Eldorado is pronounced Eldade in the local area, and it is the southern area of Artoona, south of Logan Avenue and west of Sixth Avenue. The main office of Sheets is in this area. This area was once called the West End. Oddly enough, the northern part of Artuna is the east end. This was because the train leaving the northern end of the town was heading for Philadelphia in the east, and the train leaving the southern end was heading for Pittsburgh in the west. A part of El Dorado is outside the city of Arturna and is part of the Allegheny Community in Blair County.

Logan Town

Logan Town is just north of the downtown area, including part of the downtown area where Artuna Hospital, the tallest building in Artuna, is located. However, according to a document, the hospital is located in downtown and Platform 4 is the border. At No.4 between Chestnut Avenue and Willow Avenue, there is a mixture of residential and commercial buildings.

junior router

Junior Ata was once a different city, but was annexed to Artoona in the late 1880s. For this reason, it can be explained that the naming of streets has changed and that there is a unique commercial district. The commercial district is sometimes called 'Junior Ta Downtown' and is very similar to the commercial district along No. 29 of the industrial district and the commercial district near Bon Sequor Hospital. The two commercial districts are just outside the downtown of Artoona. In order to avoid confusion caused by the change in the way the street names are named, many of the street names are prefixed with 'Kita.' The most important street in Junior Ata's L-shaped commercial district is Kita 2-dori.

Greenwood and East End

Greenwood is a mixture of urban and quasi-urban areas, and there are more modern buildings than Junior Ata. There was no agreement on the Greenwood border, either on the Greenwood Road, on the Main Street (ironically, not on the Artoona main street), or on the East End, which is located outside the city rather than on Route 764. Some of Greenwood is outside the Artoona area and is part of the Logan Towns Ship. Along Line 220 of the Industrial Road, there is a small 'Greenwood Village,' but in reality, a part of it is Artoona and a part of it is Logan Town Ship.

East End includes a part of the Dutchhill district, and Street One is the border because all Abennes are prefixed with 'East' in the north of No. 1. The east end is remarkably urbanized and dense, in contrast to the low density of Greenwood, and in some cases the density is the same as that of downtown.

Artoona is the main center of the Pittsburgh Line of the Norfolk Southern Railway. In Artina, heavy trains are equipped with auxiliary locomotives to cross the Horseshoe Curve, which is west of the town. At first, the Junior Tarta Heavy Repair Plant, which was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad, was the main repair and maintenance equipment of the Norfolk Southern Railway. 60 to 80 trains a day usually run through Artoona. Due to its historical importance in the railway industry and its current high level of use, it has been a mecca for train fans for more than 60 years, and the Railroad People's Memorial Museum and the Horseshoe Curve are popular spots for people who photograph passing trains.

Pennsylvania

In addition to many freight cars, the Pensirbenian, a daytime long-distance train between Pittsburgh, Amtrak, and New York, makes a round trip once a day at Artoona station. This train also passes through the hose-shoe curve.

AMTRAN operates buses in the city. In 2007, the AMTRAN was hampered by the cut of state budget. In May of the same year, Governor Rendel visited Artoona and considered a plan to correct the situation.

The main roads are Pennsylvania Turnpike in the north and Interstate Expressway 99, which connects Interstate Expressway 80 in the south. National Route 22 of the United States runs east-west and directly connects Pittsburgh and Harrisburg. Roads in Artoona City are numbered, and the 'Street' runs from northwest to southeast and the 'Avenue' runs from northeast to southwest.

Altoona Blair County Airport offers commercial airlines that operate a few flights every day at Washington Dulles International Airport and a limited number of flights at Pittsburgh International Airport.

Itahari Auto Racecourse

In the early 20th century, the Pennsylvania Railroad built a large sports complex at the intersection of Chestnut Avenue and No. 7. It was named Cricket Field to appeal to British investors who love cricket. Cricket was not popular among the Artoona residents, so it was used for baseball, his relatives. Famous baseball players such as Babe Ruth and Josh Gibson have played in the Cricket Field, and have also been held at many sports competitions, music competitions, and marching. There is now a square at the Cricket Field.

From 1923 to 1931, there was a racecourse called the Arturna Speedway, which was 1.25 miles (2 km) around the whole.

Artoona has a system of education, including two high schools: the parish and the public. Bishop Gilfoil High School is a private parish high school that teaches students from ninth to twelfth grade and is located on Pleasant Valley Avenue 2,400. Altoona Regional High School teaches students from the tenth to the twelfth grade and is located in 1415, Sixth Avenue. The Altoona Regional High School is much larger than the Bishop Gilfoyle High School, and each year there are 600 graduates, while the Bishop Gilfoyle High School is around 100. Most of the sports teams at Bishop Gilfoil High School are Class A, the smallest of the Pennsylvania School Competition Association. In contrast, the sports team at Artoona Regional High School belongs to the largest class, Class AAA. Although these two high schools rarely compete with each other, there are competition between basketball, volleyball, tennis, cross-country and softball matches.

Artoona has Pennsylvania State University Ivy Side Park Campus, and is also called Penn State Artoona. This is the second largest campus in Pennsylvania. About 3,800 students were enrolled in the school year from 2006 to 2007.
