WARREN COUNTY HISTORY
Like his commission as a general, it took some time for Gen. Joseph Warren’s name to settle on a county in northwestern Pennsylvania.
Warren was killed at the Battle of Bunker Hill fighting with the men, rather than leading them, because his commission did not arrive in time.
Early records put this part of the state in Allegheny or Lycoming county.
In 1800, the state legislature created eight new counties — including Warren. The five of those in the northwestern part of the state were lumped together for tax purposes as Crawford County, with Meadville as county seat.
Later that year, a Brokenstraw Township was created. That township had the same border as what is now Warren County.
Warren lost its dependence on Crawford County in 1805... and became part of Venango County. That arrangement lasted until 1819, when the legislature formally created the separate Warren County, with two municipalities — Brokenstraw and Conewango townships.

CITY OF WARREN
Warren is named for a man who might have been one of our nation’s Founding Fathers.
But, there is no Founding Father named Warren.
When Joseph Warren’s commission as a general failed to arrive in time for the Battle of Bunker Hill, he volunteered to fight among the troops, instead of leading them. He was killed in that battle on June 17, 1775.
Warren has been called the Founding Martyr or the forgotten Founding Father.
He was a Harvard graduate and a doctor and he was considered a leading revolutionary. He had been president of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress — a post also held by John Hancock. He sent Paul Revere on his famous ride.
The Borough of Warren was incorporated on May 7, 1832. The borough’s highest population was enumerated in the 1940 census — 14,891.
The borough became the City of Warren in 1988.
Gen. Warren has a park and a statue in his honor in the triangle formed by Pennsylvania Avenue West and the western end of Third Avenue.

It’s unclear when Sugar Grove Borough was derived out of Sugar Grove Township, through the name is derived from the prevalence of maple trees in the area. There were three to four families living in the village by 1818. One of the largest abolition conventions occurred in Sugar Grove in 1854 and famed abolitionist Fredick Douglass was one of the key speakers at that event. Flashing forward over a century, mandolinist and tenor vocalist from the country band Diamond Rio, Gene Johnson, is a Sugar Grove native.

Combined out of Deerfield and Triumph townships, the word “Tidioute” is a Native American word meaning “log trap place” – deer were supposedly trapped at the mouths of
streams in the area. The town was first called Deerfield but a postal conflict – there was another Deerfield – necessitated a name change. The borough was incorporated on June 7, 1862, largely in respond to area oil activity.

Originally derived from the Native American word “Cushonadauga,” the term Brokenstraw translates as “broken grass.” English settlers initally called the area Buckaloons, a mismash of a Delaware tribe word. Brokenstraw was the county’s first township – essentially covering the entire county – and was formally created in 1800. It was split in two eight years later and split a total of 12 times by 1821.

The township is named – unsuprisingly – for cherry trees present in the area. It was split from Sheffield Township and formally created on Dec. 7, 1847. Cherry Grove is particularly notable as the location of one of the nation’s greatest oil booms in 1882-1883 which was responsible for altering oil prices on the national market. By the end of the decade, little evidence of the bustling area remained as the oil had dried up.

organized in March 1821 and initally called “Northwest Township” because of its location in the county. It was formed independently on May 25, 1825. And while it might be assumed the township is named for the famed explorer, there appear to be more to the story. Two of the early settlers - David Curtis of Sherburne, NY and Kimball Webber of Columbus, NY, had a bitter dispute as they both wanted to name the township after their hometown. The two men agreed to settle the issue this way: The man who could bring in the most whiskey on election day would name the township. Webber’s five gallons were enough to win the wager, hence we know it was Columbus Township and not Sherburne Township. Columbus Borough was formed out of the township in 1853 but gave it up in 1925 and rejoined the township.

up in the 1700s. The boundaries of the township were settled in 1806 and formally received judicial approval in 1808. At that point, Conewango Township was the eastern half of the county with Brokenstraw Township encompassing the western side. The first township election was held in the home of Daniel Jackson (Jackson Run Rd., Jackson Run, etc.) in 1808. In 1821, the two townships were future divided into 12, bringing the township must closer to its current configuration.

Deerfield Township was organized in March, 1821 and initially called “Number Eleven.” An abundance of deer is the origin of the name. In the 1820s, the township was vast and unsettled with one source indicating the early settlers in those years “were a sturdy class of men and women, honest and, of necessity, hard working.” Log cabins dotted the landscape along the Allegheny River about every mile in those early years. Pine and hemlock were available in prodigious amounts and with the river a convenient source of transportation, the first sawmill opened in 1826. The township initially included land on both sides of the river but in 1829 the portion to the east of the river was split off and formed into Limestone Township. It was further cut in 1862 for the creation of Tidioute Borough.

The township was formed in September 1843 and was named for Judge Nathaniel B. Eldred, president of the judicial district of which Warren County was a part at that time. The township was created out of a portion of Southwest Township. Samuel W.B. Sanford was the driving force behind the petition that created the township. The first settler of the township is believed to have been Lovell Greeley - an uncle of the famed illustrator Horace Greeleyaround 1830.

Elk Township was named because of the frequency with which elk were found in the area. However, by 1832, there were just a few elk left. The township was created on March 8, 1821, attached to Kimzua Township and initially called “Number Seven.” Nine years later, on May 1, 1830, the township was organized as Elk Township, the part of Kinzua Township west of the Allegheny River. When it was created, it was one of the largest townships in the county but was never densely populated. Into the 1880s, no large oil reserves had been found which may have brought more people to
the area. The first settler is believed to have been George Schoonover who lived on part of what became the Roper property as early as 1815 or 1816.

Farmington Township was named because of the “agricultural pursuits of its residents.” It was formed out of Pine Grove Township by the county court on Oct. 7, 1853. It might be a myth, but a story has been perpetuated some of the residents on the western edge of Pine Grove Township didn’t want to pay for part of a covered bridge at Russell in 1853 and petitioned the court to split into their own township

The township was formed out of parts of Columbus and Sugar Grove townships on September 3, 1833. The citizens tasked with creating the township asked that the court that the land be held in “fee simple,” which appears to be the origin of the name, which was a popular municipal name in the 1800s. A road from Pittsfield through Wrightsville to Lottsville opened as early as 1814 and James Irvine - half brother of Guy C. Irvine (who built the Locust House in Pine Grove Township) - was the township’s first permanent resident. A history of the county notes that Lottsville is older than Wrightsville “though it has never seen quite so stirring events.”

The first landmark with “Glade” slapped on it as a name was Glade Run, the stream. The township was formed out of Conewango and Elk townships in March 1844. An early settler, Jacob Hook, owned vast amounts of land in the township and it was on his land where the first murder
occurred in the county. Though Hook was acquitted, questions remain about the integrity of the trail. One of the county’s most powerful families, the Cobhams, built was in colloquially known as “Cobham Castle.”
Perhaps the most famous Cobham was George, killed during the Civil War at the Battle of Peach Tree Creek in Georgia in 1864. He was breveted a brigadier general upon his death.

Limestone - named because of limestone deposits in the area - was formed as a provisional township in August 1829. Settlers took control of the land believing that the township was owned by Pennsylvania but it was later determined that an English investor named Maben held title and the settlers would have to purchase the land. A second source confirms that early capitalists held large tracts of land which thwarted early development in the area. The first settler is believed to be Robert Arters who came in 1806 and was a Revolutionary War veteran. A significant amount of land in the township was purchased by the Harmony Society, a religious commune, in the 1850s.

Mead Township was formed from parts of Sheffield, Kinzua and Pleasant Townships on June 7, 1847. It is named after Darius Mead who is believed to have settled in the area before 1838. There used to be four post offices in Mead Township - Stoneham, Clarendon, North Clarention and Tiona - though only Clarendon and Tiona remain. A history of the county notes Mead Township “was not generally inhabited by civilized man as early as many other portions of the county.” Some of the earliest settlers of the area were the brothers Jeremiah, Samuel and James Morrison who came from Jersey Shore, Pa. as early as 1800. Even into the 1840s, there were just four or five families living the frontier life in the township.

MUNICIPALITIES
Present-day Pine Grove Township was settled prior to 1795 though the township wasn’t formed until March 8, 1821 and was initially called “Number Six.” It’s size was slashed by the creation of Farmington Township in October 1853. The name is presumably derived from the abundance of timber that blanketed the county in the early 19th century. Some of the first settlers - all here by 1795 - were John Frew, John Russell, Robert Miles and Isaiah Jones. A 1795 treaty made settling the area safer regarding potential Native American conflict. A sawmill had been erected by 1801 but it wasn’t until after the War of 1812 that the population expanded,

Pittsfield Township was formed out of Brokenstraw and Spring Creek townships in 1847.
It was named after Pittsfield, Mass. by James L. Acocks, the first postmaster, who had migrated from that town. But a small settlement had developed there as early as 1806 with approximately one dozen families living there. Mark Dalrymple deserves the credit for laying out the town in the early 1830s. Acocks opened the first store in the township in 1840.

Pleasant Township was created out of Limestone Township in 1834 through was sparsely settled into the 1880s. A history of the county indicates that the township “undoubtedly derived its name from its beauty of situation and prospect.” The people who petitioned for the formation of the township wanted to name it “Mount Pleasant” but the judge that granted the creation of the township shortened the name. Prior to the mid-1820s, the only settlers in the area were squatters. John Mead was the first permanent settler. The delay in settlement was no doubt caused by the geographic isolation of the township when there was no bridge to connect the township to the City of Warren.

Sheffield Township was first settled in 1836 by Newton Lounsberry and was a prominent tanning location due to its large supplies of accessible hemlock bark needed to tan leather. The township was created in June 1833 and in 1908 the Pennsylvania Lumber Company crafted the largest electric sawmill east of the Mississippi. Where Barns is now was first called Sheffield Saybrook was known as West Sheffield from 1853 to 1868. Mead, Cherry Grove and Sheffield townships were initially part of Kinzua Township. There were 33 property owners in the township on the first tax list in 1833 but there were no more than 20 permanent residents in the township in addition to several squatters.

Southwest Township’s name is derived from its geographic location in the county - the extreme southwest corner. It was crafted out of Deerfield Township by the court in 1837 or 1838, depending on the source.
The first settler is believed to have been Richard Henderson in 1806. His home was two miles east of Enterprise. A history of the county notes that there was “considerable ill feeling” between Pennamites - settlers from eastern Pennsylvaniaand those from New York and New England.
The most active migration to the township in the 19th century was between 1825 and 1838.

The name of the township comes directly from the stream in its boundaries - Spring Creek, as it was the confluence of several springs which formed the headwaters. The township was formed out of Brokenstraw Township on March 8, 1820 and was initially known as “Number Two.”
Andrew Evers and Elijah Jackson were the first settlers. A descendant of Elijah Jackson is the township’s most famous son - Robert H. Jackson. Jackson, born at a farmstead off of Hyers Road, served as a U.S. Supreme Court Justice as well as U.S. Chief Prosecutor of Nazi war criminals in Germany after World War II.

Sugar Grove Township was formed on March 8, 1821 and designated as “Number Three.” The name, unsurprisingly, came from a predominance of maple trees in the area. The area was largely settled by the time the township was formed, mostly with people from the Mohawk Valley of New York State and New England in addition to settlers from Ireland and Scotland. The first was Robert Miles who came up from Pittsburgh in June 1797 on the first keelboat that came to Warren. His farm was located 1.5 miles east of the town of Sugar Grove. Cynthia Catlin, who lived on Big Tree Rd., was heavily involved in abolition and Underground Railroad initiatives in the mid-1800s.

ALLEGHENY NATIONAL FOREST IS A RECREATIONAL PARADISE
Established in 1923, Allegheny National Forest (ANF) is Pennsylvania’s only National Forest.
Situated in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains, the ANF is composed of plateau tops with elevations up to approximately 2,300 feet and valleys down to approximately 1,000 feet above sea level.
The forest is approximately 517,000 acres and includes land in Elk, Forest, McKean and Warren counties in the northwestern corner of the state. The U.S. Forest Service brought new concepts in forest management to the Allegheny Plateau — multiple benefits and sustainability.
The motto “Land of Many Uses” captures the National Forest goal of a healthy, vigorous forest that provides wood products, watershed protection, a variety of wildlife habitats and recreational opportunities — not only for us today, but in a sustainable way so future generations can enjoy these benefits, too.
