Situated between the Susquehanna River and Bald Eagle Creek, Lock Haven was developed by brothers Jerry and Willard Church in 1833 on 200 acres of farmland. The completion of the canal in 1834 stimulated the lumber industry, which became a source of prosperity for many years. Most of the large, beautiful homes located in Lock Haven�s Water Street Historic District were built by families who prospered from over 50 years of timber harvest. When the lumber industry declined, other industries, including furniture, paper, fire bricks, and silk, provided new economic opportunities. The city was home to Piper Aviation and has seen the growth of Lock Haven University. Through floods and economic turmoil, Lock Haven�s residents have continuously shown their strength of character. Lock Haven serves as a tribute to the beauty of the river, the mountains, and the people of this community.
