Cool Facts

Bloomfield’s name actually has its roots in the Revolutionary War. George Washington’s journal described traveling from Liberty Village along "the high ground through a field of many blooms."
Bloomfield celebrates its Italian roots each summer with the Little Italy Days festival. A wave of Italian immigrants from five towns in the Abruzzi region gave the neighborhood its current nickname as Pittsburgh’s Little Italy. Today, several generations later, many of the descendants of these early immigrants remain in Bloomfield, giving the neighborhood its authentic character.
