It is part of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. The population was 13,944 at the 2010 census.[2] HistoryWhitehall is probably named after Silas D. Prior's tavern on Brownsville Road, which was renamed White Hall in the 1850s. The building is still in existence, but is in Brentwood. Another possible source of the borough's name is that the area, which used to be located within the township of Baldwin, was known as Whitehall Driving Park. In 1946, residents of Baldwin Township's fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh wards began the process of secession. A petition was filed on October 14, 1946, in the Quarterly Sessions of Allegheny County, with 1320 signatures out of the 1627 freeholders in the proposed borough.[3] In response to this, Baldwin Township officials called an emergency meeting to file a petition to have Baldwin Township incorporated into a borough, as it is much more difficult to secede from a borough than from a township.[4] On January 5, 1948, Whitehall separated from Baldwin Township to become an independent municipality.[3][5] According to former mayor Edwin F. Brennan, residents of Whitehall wanted better services and zoning than they received under the jurisdiction of the township.[3][6] GeographyWhitehall is located at {{coord|40|21|37|N|79|59|11|W|type:city}} (40.360292, -79.986271).[7] According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough has a total area of {{convert|3.3|mi2|km2}}, all of it land. Surrounding communitiesWhitehall has five borders, including the Pittsburgh neighborhood of Overbrook to the north, Brentwood to the northeast, Baldwin to the south and east, Bethel Park to the southwest, and Castle Shannon to the northwest.
