The Miss Pennsylvania competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Pennsylvania in the Miss America pageant, and the name of the title held by that winner.
The first woman to compete at Miss America as Miss Pennsylvania was Florence Koons in 1927;[1] however a number of women represented cities, counties and areas of Pennsylvania in earlier editions of the Miss America pageant.
The only Miss Pennsylvania to win Miss America was Evelyn Margaret Ay, winner of the 1954 pageant. Four other Pennsylvania women, three Miss Philadelphia titleholders, Ruth Malcomson (1925), Rose Coyle (1936) and Frances Marie Burke (1940), and one Miss Pittsburgh, Henrietta Leaver (1935), have also won the MIss America title.
Originally held in Hershey, the pageant moved to West Chester where pageants were held during the 1950s. The pageant was held in Altoona from 1974. In 1994, Easton was chosen as the new venue of the pageant and the date was shifted from June to May. In November 2008, the pageant was moved to the Pittsburgh area.
