The city was developed as a place where low paid, non-unionized immigrants, along with African-Americans from rural Alabama, who worked in the city's steel mills and blast furnaces, gave it a competitive advantage over unionized industrial cities of the Midwest and Northeast. Its rapid growth earned it the nickname "The Pittsburgh of the South". Its major industries were iron and steel production.
