2018-2019 Official Guide
ArmstrongCounty.com ArmstrongAdventure County Armstrong County, centrally located in the rolling, gentle hills of Western Pennsylvania and divided north to south by the picturesque Allegheny River, is a region where early American history shakes hands with a promising future. Delaware Indians first established their principle town of Kit-Han-Ne in the 1730s at present day Kittanning, the county seat.
The Allegheny River, first named “La Belle” River by French explorers in the 1680s, has served as Armstrong County’s “highway” to the outside world, especially metropolitan Pittsburgh 40 miles to the south.
Armstrong County offers many diverse activities to be enjoyed by anybody who visits. Some of these activities include hunting, fishing, shopping, dining, camping, golfing, water adventures, parks, history, geo-caching, festivals, and fairs. Enjoy it all in Armstrong County!

State Gameland What is a water trail? A water trail is a marked route along a river for small crafts such as kayaks and canoes.
What is marked on water trail maps? Water trails highlight land-based amenities such as access points as well as community features and important landmarks or cultural assets. This water trail map will include information on places to launch non-motorized watercrafts, water features and hazards, parking areas, camping, restrooms, types of business services in nearby communities, and other points of interest along the Allegheny River. Since many of the tributaries of the Allegheny River are navigable by non-motorized watercraft, the mapping expanded into the surrounding waterways of the river including Buffalo Creek, Crooked Creek, Cowanshannock Creek, and Mahoning Creek.
6 2018-2019 Official Guide to Armstrong County Why map the Allegheny River as a water trail? Noting a growing interest in paddle sports and outdoor recreation, the Tourist Bureau believes the addition of this water trail will encourage visits to the area, bringing associated economic benefits. This map will be a way to enhance the interaction visitors and residents have with their surroundings along the river.
Why map this section of the Allegheny River? This water trail map will connect two existing water trails, one to the north of Emlenton and the second to the south of Freeport.
Water Trail Maps are available at the ACTB Office or by calling: 888-265-9954

ArmstrongCounty.com | 1-888-265-9954 9 HistoryArmstrong County, named after Colonel John Armstrong, was formed in 1800 from parts of three other counties (Lycoming, Allegheny, and Westmoreland). Kittanning, from the Indian name Kit-Han-Ne, was the original county seat and remains so today. Many of the historical sites in Armstrong County can be visited throughout the Armstrong County GeoTrail, a series of geocaches hidden throughout the county. For more information on geocaching, visit www.geocaching.com.
No matter where you are in Armstrong County, you are walking in the footsteps of history. The county is home to many historical sites, including the Battle of Kittanning, Drake’s Log Cabin, the childhood home of Nellie Bly, the Pennsylvania Bicentennial Woak-Hanne Farm, and many more. History buffs will also be fascinated by the rich history surrounding the Battle of Kittanning. During the French and Indian War, the village of Kit-Han-Ne was the center for Indian raids on white settlements in Western Pennsylvania and parts of Maryland and Virginia. Colonel John Armstrong led 300 frontier troops in an attack on the village on the morning of September 8, 1756. Most of the village was destroyed and the tribe leader, Captain Jacobs, was killed. Although Armstrong suffered losses, the battle was considered a victory because the tribe left the village and most of the raids ceased.
