Neville Township, Pennsylvania
Neville Township is a township in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, United States. Its land area consists entirely of Neville Island, which is an island on the Ohio River. The population was 1,084 at the 2010 census.
==History==
The island was formerly known as Montour's Island, named for the Native American interpreter Andrew Montour, who lived on the land in colonial times. Before the American Revolution, the island was claimed by both Pennsylvania and Virginia. Both states awarded a claim to the island to citizens of their states. The dispute found its way to the Supreme Court in ''Irvine v. Sims's Lessee'' (1799). Charles Simms won the case and gained possession of the island. It was eventually transferred to his partner in the lawsuit, General John Neville, for whom the island, and the township, is named. Neville lived on the island in his final years.
A 1903 newspaper advertisement for real estate on the island compared it to the next Manhattan Island.〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=0v8aAAAAIBAJ&sjid=iUgEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6700%2C1646138〕
