Township History |
---|
The history of the township was compiled and printed in 1977 by a committee consisting of Orvis Anderson, Louis Haun,
Larry Kitch, and Stanley Stewart. Following are excerpts from the history book: |
South Pymatuning, the only new township in the past one hundred twenty years of Mercer County history, was formed from
Pymatuning Township by a court decree dated December 7, 1914. |
The area of our township was included in the following larger areas before our county was formed in 1800: first Northwest
Territory of Pennsylvania, then Westmoreland County, later Allegheny County, and finally Mercer County in 1800. The
northwest section of Mercer County was first called Salem Township. Then in 1806 the southern part became Pymatuning
Township, from which our township was formed in 1914. |
The size of the township as stated by the court decree remained unchanged until after 1950, when the United States
Government started to acquire land for the construction of the Shenango Reservoir. Of the 15,000 acres of land purchased
by the U.S. Government for the Shenango Reservoir Area, South Pymatuning Township lost a larger portion than any other
political unit. In addition to the land acquired by the federal government, the entire southeast section of the township
lying south and east of Clarksville was annexed by the Borough of Clark in 1960. |
There are a number of reasons to believe that the area of South Pymatuning Township had an extensive Indian habitation.
Many artifacts, the stone weapons and tools of the Indians, have been collected in this area since the coming of the early
settlers. |
