Exit Muckelrat and Enter Woodland Hills

Muckelrat is gone forever, the “Village of Woodland Hills” takes its place and every citizen holds his head erect these days and smiles a happy smile.

The territory comprising the one-time Muckelrat includes that part of Wilkins Township, hounded by Braddock road, Filmore road, Glasgow road, Fairview avenue and Ridge avenue.

The formal announcement of this change was made in a communication to The Sun today, signed “Citizens of Woodland Hills.”—PITTSBURG SUN, 1921.
