WATTSBURG BOROUGH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Erie WATTSBURG BOROUGH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Erie County, Pennsylvania WATTSBURG BOROUGH COUNCIL and WATTSBURG BOROUGH PLANNING COMMISSION 1973 1 Allen Phelps - Mayor WATTSBURG BOROUGH COUNCIL Arthur Fosburgh - President Eugene Cdmbs - Vice President Darlene Duda - Secretary Raymond Tanner George Wilkins Victor Yost John Baroth Dale Henry WATTSBURG PLANNING COMMISSION Earl Duda Ronald A. Brown Thomas R. Lijewski Phillip Vandercoy Danny Hawley PLANNING CONSULTANT Erie Metropolitan Planning Department Christopher Capotis Executive Director TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction INTRODUCTION The purpose of this document is simple; it is intended to serve as a guide for the future development of the Borough of Wattsburg. The local planning commission, Borough Council and the citizenry of Wattsburg Borough should become familiar with the contents of this comprehensive plan. Such understanding is essential in order to carry out the recommendations of this I Plan. Wattsburg Borough is a small rural community; it is not beset with I the problems which are inherent in larger municipalities, such as the City of Erie. Crime, unemployment, severe social problems and the rapid develop- ment of open land by market speculators are a few problems that Wattsburg Borough has managed to escape because of its rural identity. However, basic 1 problems do exist, and must be dealt with at the present if the Wattsburg community is to evade their continuing effects in future years. Retaining the quality of the existing housing stock and the future need for a communi- ty sanitary sewerage and water distribution system are probably the two fore- most basics which must be dealt with in the future and planned for at pre- sent. While the official responsibility for the implementation of this com- prehensive plan rests with the Borough Council, it is indeed evident that they will need assistance. Internally, the Borough Planning Commission holds the capability of providing the major thrust of such assistance. While somewhat lax in its duties in recent years their support and con- tribution to the present planning program is indicative of this role of assistance. The local Planning Commission, as envisioned by the Pennsyl- vania Municipalities Planning Code (State Act 247, as amended) is primar- ily geared and established to plan, advise, and assist the local elector- ate in attaining the community's goals and objectives. A strong, informed and involved Planning Commission can only benefit a community such as Watts- burg Borough. Externally, the Erie Metropolitan Planning Department stands ready to provide further consultation in Wattsburg Borough's future plan- ning implementation activities. REGIONAL LOCATION AND HISTORY The Borough of Wattsburg is located in the southern most portion of Venango Township. The Borough is included in the Eastern Tier Region of Erie County and is almost equidistant from the City of Corry and the City of Erie. The major thoroughfares of travel to these two cities are Penn- sylvania Route 89 and Pennsylvania Route 8 respectively. With a 1970 population of 453 persons and a land area of approximate- ly one-third of a square mile the Borough is a small community. While it contains a higher overall population density than the surrounding community of Venango Township, Wattsburg Borough is still considered rural in nature. With this rural identity Borough residents are somewhat dependent upon the Erie Urban Area, Corry City and Union City Borough for goods and services such as shopping, medical assistance and even employment. The regional highway arterial system, Pennsylvania Routes 8, 89 and U. S. Route 6 are the major corridors of travel used to obtain such amenities. Wattsburg as a community has its'roots deep in American history. In 1795 William Miles and his father-in-law David Watts, came to Erie County as the first surveyors of the tenth Donation District. The first clear- ing at Wattsburg was made by William Miles who built a storehouse as a depot of supplies for the surrounding area and for the purchase of furs. At that time the headquarters of the Population Company was at Colt's Sta- tion and all the trade between Lake Erie and the Allegheny River was car- ried on in canoes up and down French Creek. The first road was opened up between North East and Lake Erie in 1798. This road was extended to Watts- burg in 1809 (Rt. 89). I'he year 1820 marked the construction of Wattsburg's first school. This scho - was built on the very spot where the Wattsburg High School was located prior to the building of the consolidated school in 1957. In 1822 Mr. Miles persuaded the county to build a bridge over the West Branch of French Creek; this was the first permanent bridge con- structed in Erie County. During the same year Miles built a grist mill and a saw mill and induced Lyman Robinson to build a tavern. In 1828 Miles laid out Wattsburg and named it after his father-in-law David Watts. During the same year a post office was established and a main route be- tween Erie and Jamestown was implemented via Wattsburg. Wattsburg was in- corporated as a borough in 1833. The following section on population will trace the development of Wattsburg Borough from the earliest recorded year to present. 2 REGIONAL LOCATION WATTSBURG BOROUG H ERIE COUNTY PENNA. T OWNSH I P AMI TY TOWNS HIP ERIE METROPOLITAN PLANNING BEPARTME NT 1973 SCALE : l"=APPROX. 20MlLES PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS Climate: The Wattsburg Area has an average yearly temperature of 47.8,,ranging from the maximums of -20 degrees Fahrenheit in February to 100 degrees Fah- renheit in July. Total annual precipitation is between 42 and 44 inches per annum. On the average, the last killing frost can be expected around May 20 and the first killing frost after September 25. Thus the average growing season is 128 days. Winters are somewhat severe with colder temper- atures, along with more snow, than the northern portion of Erie County. Soils: The existing soil composition has an effect on the future development of an area. In the absence of a community sanitary sewerage system, as is the case in Wattsburg, desireable soils are necessary for on-lot septic systems. The Erie County Health Department takes the existing soil types into consideration in the granting of permits for such on-lot disposal meth- ods. If a lot is of small size and its soil does not lend itself to the ab- sorption of waste effluents the permit is denied. The accompanying table and generalized soil map depict the Wattsburg situation.

The second group of soils (CcA, CdA and CeA) belong to the Chagrin Series. These soils are deep and well drained; however, as can be observed on the accompanying soil map, all are found within flood plains. Another common group of soil types (HbA and HbB) exists in the north- east portion of the Borough. This group, Howard Series, are deep and well drained soils. This group is ideal for on-lot disposal methods. It should be noted that the mapping and aforementioned description are generalized. Good soils may be found to exist in poor areas and vice versa. Overall, the Erie County Department of Health feels that Wattsburg Borough has a fair rating, for on-lot disposal. However, due to the high water ta- ble, future contamination to individual well sources from on-lot septic systems remains a possibility. 4 I // I VENANGO I 1 I 1 I I I I 1 'I I I I 1 ' AMITY TOWNSHIP h 1 SOILS & ON -LOT SEWAGE DISPOSAL WATTSBURG BOROUGH I SLOPE A 0 - 3 % SLOPE -1 SEVERE ON-LOT DISPOSAL I B 3 - 8 70 SLOPE jTYTZ] SLIGHT ON-LOT DISPOSAL D 15 - 25 70 SLOPE 1 SCALE: 1": 400' ERIE METROPOLITAN PLANNING DEI1 1973 POPULATION ANALYSIS Successful planning for the future of a community has, as its founda- tion an accurate assessment of the factors affecting the present quality of the community's development. One of the primary factors of consideration is the analysis of the size, composition and characteristics of the communi- ty's population. A population analysis is essential in order that a deter- mination of the facilities and services necessary to satisfy the needs of the growing community can be established. A consideration of the past growth trends and a projection of potential growth patterns of a community is a useful measure of the quality and quantity of social and economic improve- ments that will be necessary to meet the needs of the general public and promote the continuous growth of the community. PoDulation Trends: An analysis of the growth in population within the Wattsburg area re- veals a pattern of relative stability in the period of years from 1900-1970.

  • A History of Henry R. Rouse 1823 – 1861
    A History of Henry R. Rouse 1823 – 1861 Preserved and distributed by: The Rouse Estate 701 Rouse Avenue Youngsville, PA 16371 814-563-7565 | rouse.org The following history of Henry R. Rouse was written by local oil historian and columnist Ernest C. Miller. It was originally published by the Warren Times-Observer. Date of publication is uncertain, perhaps the 1960’s. The Story of Henry Rouse – It is safe to assume that most Warren County residents have heard of the Rouse Home at Youngsville, and believe that someone by the name of Rouse had something to do with it: that is true. But Henry R. Rouse was totally responsible for it and the story of his life has never been completely told. This is an attempt to do just that and to give Rouse the honor that is overdue him. The casual motorist traveling along Pennsylvania’s Route 8, just north of Oil City in the region of Rouseville, a few years ago would have seen an octagonal yellow sign perched atop an iron pipe planted close along the highway. Neither the sign nor the locality was impressive. Surrounding the site stood the ruins of an obsolete oil refinery with the iron guts of the plant twisted and rusted. The sign read, Famous Rouse Well Drilled in April 17, 1861 15 lives Lost 13 Seriously Burned The old barrel house of the defunct Crystal Oil works serves as a fitting backdrop for this only visible remembrance of the first great oil disaster. The sign disappeared some time ago, but friendly natives will point out the spot for you.
