History of Altoona

LTOONA, PA., is one of the most unique cities in the United States. Altoona is a city of workers, where there is neither the very rich nor the very poor; a city of homes and home owners; a city of railroad shops, and rolling stock and motive power; a city of ideas and ideals; a -city of stability and dependability; a city of progress and of expansion; a city of promise with confidence in itself and faith in the future; a city without hate, without fear; a city where people live and laugh and labor and love. Altoona has a romantic location, on gently sloping hills, at the base of the Alleghany mountains. On every hand the mountain tops kiss the azure of the sky by day and meet the stars by night. Altoona lies at the head of the picturesque Logan Valley, or Tuckahoe Valley, as it was commonly called in the pioneer days, and is elevated 1,168 feet above tide. It is situated about thirty miles from the geographical centre of Pennsylvania. The city derives its name from the liquid and expressive Cherokee word, "Allatoona," literally "high lands of great value." The name was bestowed by Archibald Wright, of Philadelphia, long a resident of the Cherokee country in Georgia, and an admirer of the musical names of that Indian language. Some writers have stated that the name was derived from the Latin word altus or the French word alto, but J. Simpson Africa, in the history of Huntingdon and Blair counties, gives the Cherokee derivation on the authority of the person who bestowed the name, Mr. Wright. Strickland Kneass suggested that the name was too long and it was shortened, by omitting the second syllable, "la," to Altoona. In 1849 Altoona was part farm, part wilderness and largely swamp. Indeed, there were three farms, owned respectively by William Loudon, David Robison and Andrew Green. Robison owned the middle farm on which the original village was laid out in that year. It came in- to his possession ten years earlier. It contained 223 acres and included that portion of the city now ex- tending from Fourth to Fourteenth avenues and from Eleventh to Sixteenth streets. Archibald Wright purchased the Robison farm, through Mr. Cadwallader, but he subsequently pre- sented it to his son, John A. Wright, after whom the public school in the Third ward was named. Robison lived in a farm house built of logs, which was erected near where the Logan House now stands. Mr. Wright had ascertained that he would be Uwilling to accept $5,O00 for his farm. On the day when Mr. Cadwallqder arrived to close the deal, Robison was ri butchering. While the negotiations were pending a letter dropped from Mr. Cadwallader's pocket. This letter authorized the bearer to pay $10,000 for the farm, rather than permit the deal to fall through. 1 was picked up by Mrs. Rob;son. End, like a good wife, she acquaint- ed her husband with its contents, with the result that Mr. Cadwal- lacer was forced to yield to the de- mand of $10,000, instead of get- ting the farm for $6,000. Andrew Green owned the farm lying east of Eleventh street and much of it was covered with virgin timber. After Altoona was laid out he concluded to start a rival city, which he called Greensburg. He foolishly declined to make the streets of his town conform to the generil plan of Altoona, which is responsible for the unsightly and

at Eleventh street, between Elev- Elevenith Aveinue, Altoonua, Pa. enth and Sixteenth avenues. Mr. Wright encouraged the railroad to locate its shops and offices in Altoona by donating thirty-five acres of the roe'ison farm to the company. In truth, he may have been the agent of the company in buying the farm. At all events the railroad accepted the gift and Mr. WrIght appointed Clement Jaggard his representative to sell off the remainder of the farm in lots. Mr. Jaggard became one of the new town's most important men. The Jaggard mansion, erected on Sixth avenue, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, years afterward, stood in a grove, which many hoped the city would buy for a park. The High School now occupies a portion of the plot. Feb. 18, 1914, the Altoona School Board authorized the pur- chase of three additional lots fronting on Sixth avenue, including (he old mansion, and the estate donated a lot 50x120 feet on Fifth avenue.

HISTORY OF ALTOONA (Continued from Page 2) William Loudon owned the farm west of Sixteenth street, which he purchased from Eli Hastings in 1838 and occupied a year later. It contained 204 acres. The homestead, the usual log house, stood near where the Eighteenth street culvert passes under the main line of the Pennsylvania railroad. When he learned that the new railroad company intended to lo cate shops here he laid out a portion of the tract in lots.

It is said that the of- .- -_ *------fil.nlR of th- D--ino yr - vania railroad really preferred Hollidays- burg as its headquar- ters at the foot of the eastern slope of the Alleghanies, but that the property owners there demanded pro- hibitive prices for their land, so another site was sought. Holli- daysburg at that time was a flourishing corn- munity and had been for some years by reason of the canal. It was also the county seat and is yet. Feminine appellatives were bestowed upon the streets of Altoona as originally plotted. After the village had been laid out by John A. Wright, a number of civil engineers and others held a little celebration. Mr. Wright was asked if he had named the streets. He said he had not. Whereupon they proposed to name them after their sweethearts, which proposition met with favor. And thus it was that the streets came to be called Virginia, Emma, Harriet, Adeline, Rebecca, etc., which included the names of several of Mr. Wright's family. The original street names and their present designations follow: Present Name Former Name Present Name Former Name Fourth avenue Elizabeth street Twelfth avenue Emma street Fifth avenue Rebecca street Thirteenth avenue Claudia street Sixth avenue Helen street Fourteenth avenue Mary street Seventh avenue Adeline street Eleventh street Katherine street Eighth avenue Harriet street Twelfth street Annie street Ninth avenue Branch street Thirteenth street Julia street Tenth avenue Main stieet Fourteenth street Caroline street Eleventh avenue Virginia street Fifteenth street Clara street The first building erected on the original site of Altoona alter Mr. Wright came into possession of the property, was a frame structure for the use of Strickland Kneass and the surveyors of the railroad. It was used as an engineers' office and was located near the railroad, probably at what is now Tenth avenue and Twvelfth street. but in the immediate vicinity, indeed in what is now included within the boundaries of the present city, were several other buildings. As early as 1825 John McCartney, a native of Franklin county, was living in a cabin which he built on what is now the Cricket field at Chestnut avenue and Seventh street. Much of his time was spent in clear- ing what later became the Seventh ward, of the timber and converting the land into a farm. In 1828 he married Charlotte Christman, daughter of Abraham and Elizabeth Christman, and moved on the farm, where eight children were born to them. When the city outgrew its original lines, he laid out the farm in lots, and established the suburb of McCartneyville, subsequently known as Logantown. His eldest daughter, in 1851, married John A. Smith, venerable and respected citizen, living today (1914), and they settled on the northwest side of the city. Altoona grew slowly at first. Prospective inhabitants awaited developments. John B. Westley was the town's first contractor and builder. He erected the first house in the fall of 1849, for the use of Mr. Worrall, an engineer employed by the Pennsylvania railroad, at Eleventh avenue and Fourteenth street. Local histories credit Mr. Westley with building the first house in 1851, on Tenth avenue between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, but this is incorrect, although he may have erected a structure there in that year. Prior to 1852 he had erected these other

HISTORY OF ALTOONA (Contined fronm Page 3) street, and a house for William Payne on Ninth avenue, between Ninth and Tenth streets. Mr. Westley died at his home, Seventh avenue and Tenth street, April 6, 1900. The year 1850 is a most memorable one in Altoona's history. It was the year the first train of cars reached the city over the newly constructed Pennsylvania railroad. Oddly enough there does not seem to have hben -- Il, ,-, a emonni-rnstr n oner the event, epoch-making though it was. Perhaps there were not enough people here then to make much of a fuss. On September 17, 1850, the first train was run through to Duncansville, which was then the terminus of the Middle division. What is now the Hollidaysburg branch was part of the main line for the time being. The cars crossed the mountain over the Old Portage, which had been used to haul canal boats from Hollidays- burg over the mountain to Johnstown. On December 10, 1M50, t-he first train ran through Altoora to Pittsburgh. Meantime the prescnt main line over the Alleghanies was being laid out and built. It was used for the first time on February 15, 1854. It was a great engineering feat and gave the famous Horse Shoe Curve to the world. Altoona was now made the western Post Office, <oona, Pa. terminus of the Piddle division. Origi- nally the railroad track was laid along Ninth avenue, and the first station established at Ninth avenue and Twelfth street. But the main line was changed to parallel Tenth avenue and the station was moved to Tenth avenue and Thirteenth street. For a time the ticket office and waiting room were in the Logan House. Later a building was erected on the present site of the depot. It sufficed until 1871, when a new --dLLU-1-a.

Jones, located in Altoona in 1851, purchased the lot at 1436 Eleventh avenue and built a home there. It is still in the family. Mr. Jones was employed by the Pennsylvania railroad company. Five years after his arrival the lot on which the Brant House now stands was offercd for $250. In 1913 it was sold to the railroad company for $80,000 including, of course, the present hotel. For some reason the people were rather pessimistic in those early days and d'd not think Altoona had much of a future. Otherwise they might have bought up the choice lots, held them and amassed for- tunes. In 1851 Altoona consisted of a dozen houses. In addition to those previously named there- were Adlum & Irvin's store, Benjamin Figart's store, Dr. Gabriel Thomas's residence, and the Exchange hotel, the latter located on Tenth avenue between Thirteenth and Four- teenth streets. A brick building was in course of erection on Virginia street (Eleventh avenue) for railroad offices. Few streets had been laid out and none of them was graded. Trees covered the present site of the First National bank. Where the Logan House now stands was a pond in which the boys went swimming in surrmer. Deer passed through the straggling village in their migrations to and from the "licks."
