Gibsonia is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Richland Township,[3] Allegheny County, in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania, north of the city of Pittsburgh.

Gibsonia is located in the central and southwest parts of Richland Township, and it is 16 miles (26 km) north of downtown Pittsburgh.

Gibsonia was named in honor of the Gibson family who settled the area; their original house was demolished in December 2019.

About the time of the Civil War, Charles Gibson Jr., built the first steam flour mill west of the Alleghenies on Grubbs Road.

His granddaughter, Nancy Gibson James, recalls hearing her uncle tell of the farmers riding to the mill with sacks of grain across the saddles.
