Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania/USA Fort Duquesne, Fort Pitt Built as a French fort in 1754 and named after Michel‐Ange Duquesne (1702–78), governor of New France. The British captured it, expelling the French and renaming it after William Pitt the Elder (1708–78), 1st Earl of Chatham and prime minister in all but name (1756–61, 1766–8). The city was laid out in 1764 around the fort with the new name of Pittsburgh.
