New immigrants

Between 1870 and 1920, the population of Pittsburgh grew almost sevenfold. Many of the new residents were immigrants who sought employment in the factories and mills and introduced new traditions, languages, and cultures to the city. Ethnic neighborhoods emerged on densely populated hillsides and valleys, such as South Side, Polish Hill, Bloomfield, and Squirrel Hill, home to 28% of the city's almost 21,000 Jewish households.^[48] The Strip District, the city's produce distribution center, still boasts many restaurants and clubs that showcase these multicultural traditions of Pittsburghers.^[35]

The years 1916-1830 marked the largest migration of African-Americans to Pittsburgh. Known as the cultural nucleus of Black Pittsburgh, Wylie Avenue in the Hill District was an important jazz mecca.  Jazz greats such as Duke Ellington and Pittsburgh natives Billy Strayhorn and Earl Hines played there.  Two of the Negro League's greatest rivals, The Pittsburgh Crawfords and the Homestead Grays, often competed in the Hill District. The teams dominated the Negro Nation League in the 1930s and 1940s.
