Chapter 2 Physical Environment, Natural and Historic Resources
CHAPTER 2 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT, NATURAL AND HISTORIC RESOURCES INTRODUCTION Plum Borough has numerous natural, historic and cultural resources. This section of the plan will identify those resources and some measures needed to protect, conserve, and preserve them. Historic Resources Plum Borough has several historic structures and sites from the early nineteenth century. These structures and sites provide a link to the borough’s past. The borough has a historical society known as the Allegheny Foothills Historical Society. The historical society’s office and resources are located in the Oliver M. Thompson History Room at the Plum Borough Library. When Allegheny County was created in 1788, Plum was incorporated as one of its seven original townships. In 1956, Plum was reincorporated as a borough. Many Native American tribes once lived in present day Plum. These tribes include the Iroquois, Algonquian, Cherokee, Seneca, Erie, and later the Shawnee and Delaware. There are Native American archeological sites in the borough and trails that the tribes once used still survive in Boyce Park. The last Native American tribe to inhabit the area was the Monongahela Tribe in the 1600’s. Plum Borough’s population has grown from about 6,300 in 1930 to about 30,000 in 2009. This growth was largely due to the advent of the automobile and the expansion of public infrastructure, i.e., sewer and water lines and roadways. Early development in Plum centered on coalmines and oil and gas fields. These natural resources provided employment and spawned the mining towns of Barking, Renton, Unity, and Logans Ferry. These towns still have remnants of miners’ housing and survive today in the form of neighborhoods rather than coal patch towns.
