Coulters

Coulter (also known as Coulters, formerly also Coulterville or Coultersville) is an unincorporated community in South Versailles Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, United States.[1] The community is located along the Youghiogheny River 14.3 miles (23.0 km) southeast of Pittsburgh.

The community occupies land warranted in 1787 to Eli Coulter.[2] This land was conveyed by patent in 1855 to Margaret Coulter,[2] who laid out a village in 1858.[3] Coultersville was a coal mining village until early in the 20th century when the local mines were depleted and closed.[4]

Coulter has a post office with ZIP code 15028.[5] Established in 1864 as Duncan, the post office was renamed Coultersville in 1894 and Coulters in 1900.[6]

The CSX Keystone Subdivision runs through Coulter along a former B&O line that was originally laid by the Pittsburgh and Connellsville Railroad.

People born in Coulter include Pittsburgh Steelers founder Art Rooney and baseball player Joe "Moon" Harris.[4]
