Located in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, Hazelwood is a river town rich in history.  During the mid 1900s, Hazelwood was at the heart of an industrial boom. Shortly after, the steel industry began a rapid decline. When Hazelwood Coke Works closed in 1998, 700 workers were laid off and people began to move out of the area. Hazelwood sits conveniently outside of downtown Pittsburgh and is a quiet escape from the city scene.
