Market Square (Pittsburgh)
Pittsburgh's Market Square is a public space located in Downtown Pittsburgh at the intersection of Forbes Avenue (originally named Diamond Way in colonial times) and Market Street. The square was home to the first courthouse, first jail (both in 1795) and the first newspaper (1786) west of the Atlantic Plain, the ''Pittsburgh Gazette''. A public/private modernization in the late 2000s has re-established the square as a social and cultural hub.〔(Market Square Informational Website ), published by the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership.

== History ==
John Campbell and Thomas Vickroy, while creating the city block plan for streets in Pittsburgh's core, created Market Square in 1764. It was known originally as "Diamond Square" or "Diamond Market" for the Scotch-Irish idiom "Diamond" representing a public commons or square.〔(Market Square History ), published by Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership with content from Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation.
