Named after the Chief of the Shannopin Indians, Kilbuck Township was once the southern part of Ohio Township.  With the increased settlements of the1850s additional townships were created in Alllegheny County and Kilbuck Township was officially established in 1869.  The area's natural resources and accessible water transportation as well as the newly constructed railroad made Kilbuck an attractive place to live for the early settlers.

Today Kilbuck's rustic charm remains, but is conviently located near the hustle and bustle of Pittsburgh. Residents enjoy country living with easy accessible to all the amenities of a big city.
