Yes, Fort Pitt was/is Pittsburgh. The old Fort Pitt Blockhouse still stands.
I remember going there as a kid on school field trips. During the French and
Indian War of the mid-1700's this was the battle ground, the "point" where
the Allegheny and Monongehela rivers meet and form the Ohio River. That
piece of ground is called Point State Park. Pittsburgh was the Gateway to
the West in those days! More information can be found at the museum's web
site:

Hope this helps! I was born and raised north of Pittsburgh, and still have
alot of family members there. I suppose it will always be home to me.
