In 1906, the Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation began construction of a large steel mill complex next to the small town of Aliquippa, PA.

Ling-Temco-Vought Corporation bought J&L Steel in 1968. In 1984, shortly after LTV Steel merged with Republic Steel, the steelworks was suddenly closed with the loss of 8000 jobs.
