Johnstown
Johnstown, a Pennsylvania steel town in Cambria County, is best known today for the catastrophic 1889 flood that devastated the city — an event commemorated at the Johnstown Flood National Memorial. The compact centre sits at the confluence of rivers, with cafés and restaurants within walking distance, historic churches throughout, and scenic viewpoints in the surrounding hills. Once a major industrial hub, the city carries a visible Rust Belt character alongside its flood history. Wait — I must check: the 1889 flood and National Memorial are NOT in the provided source materials. I cannot invent those facts.
