It is a residential suburb of Pittsburgh. The population was 3,827 at the 2010 census. The Sewickley Bridge crosses the Ohio River at Sewickley. Name{{Disputed section|date=November 2017}}{{Self-contradictory|about=etymology|date=November 2017}}Sewickley is thought by some to be a Native American word meaning "sweet water."[2] Historians {{Verify source| Who? Which historians? date=August 2018|date=August 2018}} dispute if Native Americans were referring to the Ohio River as the "sweet water" or instead to the syrup derived from a local abundance of maple trees.[3]{{Citation needed|reason=No source is given. Sources are needed to support both of the following assertions: (i) "Sewickley" is a pre-Columbian word for "sweet water" (ii) Historians dispute whether "sweet water" refers to the Ohio river or maple syrup. It should be noted the "sweet water" story has been explicitly refuted by the Sewickley Valley Historical Society.|date=December 2016}} Alternatively, historian Charles A. Hanna suggested "Sewickley" came from Creek words for "raccoon" (sawi) and "town" (ukli).[4] According to Hanna, the Asswikale branch of the Shawnee probably borrowed their name from the neighboring Sawokli Muscogee before the former's migration from present-day South Carolina to Pennsylvania. Contemporary accounts from noted anthropologist Frederick Webb Hodge[5] and the Sewickley Presbyterian Church,[6] as well as the current Sewickley Valley Historical Society[7] concur to varying degrees with Mr. Hanna's etymology. GeographySewickley is located at 40°32.2′N 80°10.5′W (40.5390, -80.1807). According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough has a total area of {{convert|1.1|sqmi|km2}}, of which, {{convert|1.0|sqmi|km2}} of it is land and {{convert|0.1|sqmi|km2}} of it (11.11%) is water. Surrounding and adjacent neighborhoodsSewickley has four land borders with Edgeworth to the northwest, Glen Osborne to the southwest, Sewickley Heights to the northeast, and Aleppo Township to the east. Across the Ohio River, Sewickley runs adjacent with Moon Township and Coraopolis with the Sewickley Bridge as the direct link to the former. Along with the four land borders, plus Bell Acres, Glenfield, Haysville, Leetsdale, Leet Township, and Sewickley Hills, Sewickley is located in the Quaker Valley School District. Together, these boroughs and townships constitute a loosely defined region in northwestern Allegheny County. Most of these municipalities – not including Leetsdale and parts of Leet Township – share the Sewickley post office and its 15143 zip code.
