Etna was named after the Sicilian volcano Mount Etna, an allusion to blast furnaces, steel mills, galvanized-pipe works, and other manufacturers located there. Historically, it was a steel town with a blue-collar community. The Isabella Furnace of Carnegie Steel was located in Etna, operating until 1953. In 2019, Etna was recognized as the first ever ecodistrict.
