GLASSPORT
​​​The main waterways in Glassport is the Monongahela River.
​
Glassport became a municipality in 1902, eight years after the U.S. Glass Company called “The Glass House” was erected and set a precedent for steel, tool, coke and gas industries to follow. The unnamed tributary that runs through Glassport and drains into the Monongahela River is currently classified as ‘impaired’ by the PA Department of Environmental Protection due to an excess of silt from highway and roadside runoff.​​
