Regent Square is a small neighborhood in the East End of Pittsburgh locacted along the east edge of Frick Park with a population of approximately 1,100 residents.

History

Regents Square contained a number of farms long before it became known as Regent Square. In 1863, Judge William Wilkins purchased the land and had an architect draw up plans for the area. In 1919, the area was purchased by William E. Harmon, who renamed it first Regent Place and later Regent Square. Also in 1919, Henry Clay Frick donated 150 acres to the City of Pittsburgh for what would come to be known as Frick Park, a central aspect (along with the South Braddock Avenue Business District) of living in Frick Park.
