  • Lycoming County History, Facts and Information
    Lycoming County History, Facts and Information (Ideal for students and school reports) Lycoming County Visitors Bureau www.vacationpa.com History of Williamsport and Lycoming County Geology Millions of years ago this entire area was part of a great sea. Through the centuries many changes have taken place in the earth’s crust. Extreme pressures built up within the earth’s core caused great upheavals of rock. (Most of the rocks in this area were sand- stone, shale and limestone formed from sediment on the sea floor.) This action is revealed in the exposed rock strata seen in many places throughout the county. During the great Ice Age at least three distinct glaciers entered the country, the most re- cent from 11-27 million years ago. The “Devil’s Turnip Patch” astride Route 15 about two miles south of South Williamsport and other areas of stony rubble are debris left by the retreating glaciers. Indians Artifacts indicate that the region was settled as early as 3,000 B.C. In more recent times the Andantes or Susquehannock Indians inhabited the area. They were eventually driven out by the Wolf Indians, a sub-tribe of the five Nations, who remained here until about the mid-1700’s. White Settlers Northward expansion into the hinterland of Pennsylvania, following the close of the French and Indian War, brought white settlers to the rich bottomlands of the West Branch Valley in 1765. Self-reliant and hardy, they cleared the land, built cabins from the felled trees; they lived off the land, and hunted for most of their meat.
