HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY
comPiled by michelle a. gray, Managing Director, Warren county Historical society
The earliest documented history of Warren County, Pennsylvania, dates back to the Paleo and Archaic eras uncovered during an archaeological dig at the Buckaloons in Brokenstraw Township, 8,000 BC. The 1941 Sugar Run Mounds excavation in the Kinzua area uncovered the existence of the Hopewellian peoples in the northeast corner of the county between 200 BC through 500 AD. A 1964 discovery by Dr. Stanley Lantz led to a 30-year excavation project that proved the existence of a prehistoric Native American culture that occupied the Middle Allegheny River region between 960 and 1360 AD.
In the Sixteenth Century, the Seneca tribe, part of the Iroquois Nation, controlled the area, and in 1749, French explorer Celeron de Blainville led an expedition sent by the new French government to establish sovereignty. Celeron buried a lead plate near the mouth of the Conewango Creek to signify France’s sovereignty. During the ensuing years, after the French influence ended and the Revolutionary War had begun, Cornplanter, the most noted Seneca Chief, aligned with the British. After the war, Chief Cornplanter became a defender of the new American government and in 1796, the government gifted him and his heirs several parcels of land. The Cornplanter Grant, located in Warren County, became his home until his death in 1836.
In 1795, the town of Warren was laid out by General William Irvine and surveyor Andrew Ellicott. Warren’s first structure was a log building erected by the Holland Land Company as a supply depot. In about 1806, the first settlers began to locate in Warren, and the town was incorporated as a borough in 1832. The earliest inhabitants were Scotch-Irish, followed by successive waves of immigrants from Germany, Sweden, and Italy.
In 1797, John Chapman, aka Appleseed, spent the winter in the Brokenstraw Valley bunking with
Mathew Young, Youngsville’s namesake, and planted his first apple orchard near Garland. This was the location of the first store in Warren County.
In 1800, Warren County was formed. Nine hundred two square miles were erected out of Lycoming and Allegheny Counties by an act of legislature. From 1800 to 1805, Warren County was attached to Crawford County for judicial purposes, and from 1805 to 1819, to Venango County. In 1819, after a sufficient increase in population, Warren County was established bordering on the north by New York State, on the east by McKean County, on the west

HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY
by Crawford and Erie Counties, and on the south by Venango and Forest Counties. Originally, hardwood forest covered much of the western portion, while large stands of pine and hemlock grew in the creek alleys and southeast of the Allegheny River. The river and its three major tributaries in Warren County—the Conewango, Brokenstraw and Kinzua Creeks—were natural waterways for the rafting of lumber, which was the county’s main industry for many years. Sawing and rafting of lumber continued to be a major activity late in the 1800s. Prior to 1830, only the keelboat provided two-way river transportation from Pittsburgh. Following 1830, with the arrival of the steamer “Allegheny,” a succession of steamboats from Pittsburgh served as transportation until the early 1860s, just a few years after the Sunbury and Erie Railroad was completed from Erie to Warren. Beginning in 1826, stagecoaches operated for over 75 years in Warren County, running between Dunkirk and Warren, Franklin and Warren, and Sugar Grove and Jamestown.
In 1854, the Miller and Younie families of Sugar Grove hosted the June 17 & 18 Abolitionist Convention that was attended by Frederick Douglas who later reported in his newspaper The North Star that it was, “The Crowning Convention of Them All!”
After the 1859 discovery of oil in neighboring Venango County, the Tidioute Grandin family became the second to drill for oil prompting the onset
of many oil boom towns in the area. The first free flowing oil well in the world was drilled in Tidioute on August 13, 1860. In 1861, Henry R. Rouse suffered fatal burns in an oil well fire, leaving his estate to the improvement of roads and bridges and aiding the poor of Warren County. His legacy is still active today.
By the 1880s, Warren had become a hub of railroads leading in all directions, farming began to flourish, the manufacturing of furniture and other wood products expanded; large tanning operations in the Sheffield area expanded; the fabrication of products from iron began its steady climb; and, as time progressed, 13 refineries existed within an eight-mile radius of Warren.
In 1923, the Allegheny National Forest was established as a result of the 1911 Congressional Act. Due to 80 years of timber removal for many different uses, the once lush forest land had become greatly depleted leaving barren hillsides as far as the eye could see. The motto “Land of Many Uses” was adopted and the goal of a healthy, vigorous forest that provides wood products, watershed protection, a variety of wildlife habitats and recreational opportunities became sustainable. The establishment of the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s proved to be advantageous for the area’s forests as well.
In 1965, the Kinzua Dam and Allegheny Reservoir were built to provide flood and pollution control from Warren to Pittsburgh. The dam became a great source of hydropower and one of the most popular recreational areas in the northeast United States. The remainder of the dry land was integrated into Mead Township, and the Cornplanter heirs were alleviated of their ancestral land.
In 1999, the National Park Service listed the Warren Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places, denoting almost 600 structures within the City of Warren as historically significant. In 2021, Tidioute and Youngsville were named “Heart & Soul” communities by PA Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
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.

Originally derived from the Native American word “Cushonadauga,” the term Brokenstraw translates as “broken grass.” English settlers initially called the area Buckaloons, a mishmash 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 – unsurprisingly – 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.

initially organized in March 1821 and initially 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. coneWango toWnshiP

The word “Conewango” is initially a Seneca term which translates as “in the riffles,” through numerous spellings pop 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.

It’s unclear when Sugar Grove Borough was derived out of Sugar Grove Township, though 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.

The town was first called Deerfield but a postal conflict – there was another Deerfield – necessitated a name change. The borough

The bachelor taught school, was the county’s second treasurer in the 1820s and also – as many others did – owned a sawmill in the area. The borough was incorporated on Sept. 4, 1849.

ALLEGHENY NATIONAL FOREST
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.
