It lies approximately 25 miles southwest of Pittsburgh and is in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. The population was 645 at the 2020 census. Eighty Four is accessible via PA Route 519 and PA Route 136 and interstates 79 and 70. The closest international airport is the Pittsburgh International Airport approximately 25 miles (40 km) northwest of Eighty Four in Findlay Township, Pennsylvania. Origin of name Eighty Four was originally named Smithville. Due to postal confusion with another town of the same name, its name was changed to "Eighty Four" on July 28, 1884.[7] The origin of the name is uncertain. It has been suggested that the town was named in honor of Grover Cleveland's 1884 election as President of the United States,[8] but that occurred after the town was named. Another possibility is the town's mile marker on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.[7] Another is that the town was named after the year the town's post office was built, by a postmaster who "didn't have a whole lot of imagination."[9] provided by The Observer-Reporter recblid 00rtrrpe6tjgjlwp1ht1afqcweu7dz
