For decades, Neville Island was home to farms that exported asparagus and strawberries to some of the finest hotels and restaurants in New York City. During World War I, the federal government seized some land on Neville Island to build an ammunition plant. World War II made Neville Island an industrial center as other industries moved onto the island. Neville Island is home to 24 industrial facilities that emit 25% of the total amount of air pollution in Allegheny County! Over 50,000 residents live on and around Neville Island. Many citizens grew tired of waiting for the government to take action on these polluters. In 1996, Clean Water Action, a non-profit environmental organization, brought together residents from Brighton Heights, Bellevue, Avalon, Ben Avon, Ben Avon Heights, Emsworth, Kilbuck, Neville Township, Robinson, Kennedy, Stowe, and McKees Rocks to form the Neville Island Good Neighbor Committee.
