As Bill said to Hillary: close, but no cigar.

According to an article at:

http://www.phlf.org/2000/12/21/the-controversial-spelling-of-pittsburgh-or-why-the-h/

"At a special meeting of the United States Geographic Board held on July 19, 1911 the previous decision with regard to the spelling of Pittsburgh without the final H was reconsidered and the form below was adopted:
Pittsburgh, a city in Pennsylvania (not Pittsburg)."

So it's a little over a month short of 97 years.
