Leetsdale was incorporated on March 28, 1904. Leetsdale at one time had a formidable industrial manufacturing base, with a Bethlehem Steel mill that closed in the late 1970s. The site of the mill on the shore of the Ohio River is now the Leetsdale Industrial Park, or the Port of Leetsdale, and is home to facilities leased, by The Buncher Company, to a number of companies of varying sizes.


The Leetsdale Industrial Park was largely a brownfield until the 1990s. Today, only a few of the original buildings still stand. The river shore where the park was built is littered with abandoned and run-down machinery from the Bethlehem Steel days. In 2022, CGI Steel and Nextracker renovated an abandoned steel factory to produce solar tracker equipments Leetsdale is also home to Elmridge, or the James Gardiner Coffin/John Walker house, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
