Slickville is a census-designated place (CDP) in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, United States.
[1] According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 0.5 square miles (1.3 km2), all land.
It also benefited from a relatively large 'downtown' area shared between it and the adjacent towns of Jamison (or Elrico) and nearby Patton.
Slickville's heyday lasted until 1942 when the mine was closed; however, it retains most of its original company housing, along with the company store, mine car repair shop, mine office (with jail in the basement), grade school (closed in 1985), four churches (including St. Slyvester's Catholic, Presbyterian Church, Holy Ghost Ukrainian Orthodox, Baptist (closed circa 2000), 'boney' pile and official's houses including the superintendent's house.
This includes the removal of the former Ukrainian association building, which later became the civic center around 1995, the Nickolas Kitch confectionery store around 2005, and Nick Zerebnick's barbershop around 2010.
These include service manufacturing jobs in locales, such as Greensburg, Jeannette, Latrobe, and eastern Pittsburgh area suburbs.
