It is disgusting that people who contribute on here feel the need to delete famous Aliquippians because they are jealous of them. I have added Anthony Piroli twice to this list. And he has been deleted twice. He is an NFL coach with the Tampa Bay Bucs. I have provided links, yet he is still deleted.

This is one of the many reasons that Aliquippa has continually declined.  I have never lived by and met more jealous people than in Aliquippa.  I have never experienced black on white racism as bad as it is in Aliquippa, and that is saying a lot in this day and age. There are people on here that should not even be on the list but I won't delete them, as they may be notable to someone. And if this is a former guidance counselor, you are a jerk and we know you have been part of a continual smear campaign against this family.

Deleted Poslusky and Dorsett from famous resident[edit]

Paul Poslusky and Tony Dorsett are both from Hopewell, PA, not Aliquippa, PA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.49.249.129 (talk) 18:38, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Got to read the article in Sports Illustrated http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1181210/index.htm about how Tony Dorsett hails from Aliquippa but a fluke in the line put him into Hopewell High School. Rauterkus (talk) 00:20, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dorsett himself makes it a point to say he is from Hopewell, not Aliquippa. 24.239.36.15 (talk) 17:11, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Moving Flight 427 to Hopewell Township[edit]

This issue gets complicated, because Aliquippa is both a mailing address and city. This article deals with the city. The crash occurred in Hopewell Township, which is in the Aliquippa mailing address area but not Aliquippa city proper.

RE: Hopewell and Center are Aliquippa.

Aliquippa and Queen Alliquippa[edit]

This is a referenced statement, taken from a cited source, the History of Beaver County - the railroad picked names for its stations without regard to historical accuracy. Check the Queen Alliquippa page as well. Squamate 03:53, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here is some relevant material from the article, "Aliquippa's Beginnings", by Denver Walton, which appeared in Milestones, Volume 17, Issue Number 1 (Spring 1992)[1]:

"Why is West Aliquippa northeast of Aliquippa? Was Aliquippa named for an Indian Queen? No, despite the fact that every history of the town starts with Queen Aliquippa [sic], who met with George Washington near McKeesport. The Aliquippa story starts with the completion of the P&LE Railroad through Beaver County in 1879. Iidian [sic]names were used for stations at rural locations where there were no towns or villages. There were, from the south, Shannopin station (South Heights today), West Economy (connected by ferry to Economy village), Woodlawn station at Woodlawn village, Aliquippa station at Jones Run, Kiasola station at Moon Run. Monaca station at what is now called Colona, and Philipsburg station (today's Monaca)."

And further on:

"So much for the Queen Aliquippa [sic] legend. There is no record that she ever set foot on the land in the town that bears her name." Squamate 04:00, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sports Illustrated Feature in January 2011[edit]

This article http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1181210/index.htm has a ton of great insights for putting onto the mail page for Alipuippa and other towns in south western PA. Rauterkus (talk) 00:21, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That article may be great, but that link in the footnotes (below #16) is broken. Yields “Server does not exist.”

I know nothing about how to format footnotes/references/links… but I know how to click on links, LOL!!! Jd.varner44 (talk) 00:15, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(Actually, the link here in talk is bad too.) Jd.varner44 (talk) 00:16, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
