Located in southeastern Oklahoma, Pittsburg County was named after Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Early explorers and traders traveled the area in the 1700s. In the early 1800s, the Texas Road and part of the California Road were early travel routes in Pittsburg County. During the Civil War, two Confederate posts were established in the county, Camp Jumper and a camp in Perryville. In the Battle of Perryville in 1863, Union forces burned the camp and the town. Coal mining in Pittsburg County began prior to the 1880s and was a major industry in the area. In McAlester, the Pittsburg County Genealogical and Historical Society Library & Museum features displays of local and mining history and also contains a research and genealogy library. The Arrowhead Area at Lake Eufaula State Park offers campsites, fishing, water sports and other activities.

In 2000, census records showed 43,953 people living in Pittsburg County. Countless resources exist for tracing genealogy in Pittsburg County including cemetery records and a local genealogical society. For more information about genealogy in Pittsburg County, resources are provided below.
