Responding to mounting pressure and, in the end, political pressure from senator George T. Oliver, the names board reversed itself and added an h to its spelling of the city on July 19, 1911. The letter sent to Senator Oliver to announce this decision, dated July 20 [1911], stated:
Pittsburgh, a city in Pennsylvania (not Pittsburg).
With the spelling controversy largely settled, the h-less form of the city's name headed toward extinction. There were some holdouts: the city's largest-circulation newspaper, The Pittsburg Press, adhered to the shorter spelling until 1921;The Pittsburg Dispatch and The Pittsburg Leader did so until ceasing publication in 1923.
