Southwest Greensburg, Pennsylvania

Southwest Greensburg is a borough in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, United States.

[4] As a result, the community - at that point a mere collection of farms - bore the unusual name "What You Please?"

In 1887, Richard Coulter and George Franklin Huff, both of whom had attained wealth in the local coal industry, saw the possibilities of developing the area as a residential community.

Coulter and Huff purchased land from a farmer, John Mace, in 1887, and a community consisting of 413 lots was laid out.

[4] The first recorded use of the name "Southwest Greensburg" occurred in 1888, when Coulter and Huff's plan was submitted to the county courthouse.

[7] According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough has a total area of 0.4 square mile (1.0 km2), all land.
