Alverton, Pennsylvania

Alverton is an unincorporated community in East Huntingdon Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, United States.

[1] The community is located along Pennsylvania Route 981, 2.5 miles (4.0 km) west of Mount Pleasant.

[4] Boucher states that Alverton was located along the "South-West Branch" of the Pennsylvania Railroad, which began at Greensburg.

[5] The village was the site of two coal mines, known as Donnelly and Mayfield, which began operations in 1878.

A study published in 1994 found seven company-built houses and a former hotel, thought to date to the 1880s and 1900 respectively, still in existence, together with coke ovens of more recent vintage.
