Port Perry, Pennsylvania

Port Perry was a town near Braddock, Pennsylvania and by the mouth of Turtle Creek.[1] After the construction of the nearby Edgar Thomson Steel Works in the 1870s, the town was increasingly isolated and crowded out by railroad tracks serving the plant.[2] Most traces of Port Perry were gone by 1945.[1]
