    The Duquesne Steel Company began operations in the late 1800s after purchasing land beside the Monongahela River. By 1901 the mill had grown to 23 buildings and by 1925 it had expanded further to 95 buildings including necessary power plants and infrastructure. The rail line connected Duquesne to nearby Kennywood Park. In the late 1800s a street car company was granted permission to operate a line from what is now Duquesne Place to Grant Avenue via Duquesne Avenue, helping the town grow.
