The neighborhood's predominant land area was annexed to the city of Pittsburgh in two pieces, the southern half in 1906 and the northern half in 1921 after being an independent borough for a short time. Elliott was once a thriving community full of local businesses. In the latter half of the twentieth century, the neighborhood began on a downward progression upon the closing of several housing communities throughout Pittsburgh. The continued emigration of residents to Pittsburgh's then developing suburbs is also a suggested cause of the decline.
