Donora, Pa, (former home of  the Jones Low Floor Street cars)   Back in the mid  1950's Donorahad a Exchange naming contest, and FRontier won out, as we were having Old West Days and Rodeos at the old DHS Stadium,  They had the celebration for a number of years before declining population cancelled the celebration out.  Charleroi, Pa was HUdson, Monongahela was BLackburn and don't know why?
