Home > History of Warren County

Warren was formed from parts of Allegheny and and Lycoming counties on March 12, 1800, by an act of the state legislature. That same act attached Warren County along with newly formed Mercer, Venango, and Erie counties to Crawford County 'until an enumeration of the taxable inhabitants within the aforesaid counties respectively shall be made, and it shall be otherwise directed by law.' On April 1, 1805, Warren County was separated from Crawford and annexed to Venango County.

This section of the County owes much to the foresight and labors of General William Irvine, one of the early settlers of the valley. He obtained a warrant for a large tract of land on the backs of the Allegheny River. His son Callender Irvine perfected title to the same as required by law by actually living on and improving the lands. Much of the original tract is still owned by the descendants of old General Irvine. The splendid forests of Pine and Hemlock which covered the hills were one of the chief attractions which brought settlers and speculators to this valley. Small mills were erected and their products carried by water to distant markets, --some going as far away as New Orleans and this started an enterprise which laid the foundation of much of the wealth of the population of Warren County.'

Newspaper Articles - Warren's History

April 25, 1894 - A FEW REMINISCENCES Of Warren's Early History by an Old Resident, from the Evening Democrat.

March 12, 1900 - under 'BREVITIES' in the Monday edition of the Evening Democrat, page four:

--One hundred years ago today the counties of Butler, Beaver, Mercer, Erie, Crawford, Venango, Armstrong and Warren were formed. The new counties were formed from the territory previously embraced by Westmoreland, Washington, Allegheny and Lycoming counties. The first courts of the new counties were held at held [sic] at Meadville. The people of today can hardly realize the vicissitudes experienced by the pioneers who when summoned to attend court or having legal business to perform were obliged to undertake a journey of 75 or 100 miles through dense forests and over Indian trails that were winding and overgrown with a rank growth of underbrush. The same act that formed the county provided the town of Warren as the county seat and appointed three commissioners. These first county commissioners were William Miles, Thomas Miles and John Andrews, but just what the duties of these commissioners seem to have been the act does not state. From this humble begining [sic] the county had its birth and today is one of the most populous and wealthy of any of the counties created at that time. The excellent opportunities offered the settlers in the county brought a hardy lot of people who laid the foundations of the county as it stands today.

Webmaster's note:Selected excerpts from pages 13 - 14.

Warren county was not organized as a separate shire until the year 1819. The county of Warren, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, is bounded on the north by the State of New York, or, in other words, by the line of the forty-second degree of north latitude; on the east by McKean county, on the south by Forest and Venango counties, and on the west by the counties of Crawford and Erie. In extent it is about thirty-two miles in length from east to west, by twenty-six miles in width, and contains fully eight hundred square miles of territory, or five hundred and twelve thousand acres of land. Its most important stream, the historic Allegheny, entering near the northeast corner and flowing southwesterly, divides its territory into two distinct parts, leaving about three-eighths of it on the southeast side. The tributaries of the Allegheny, of sufficient size to be useful for propelling machinery or floating rafts, are Willow Creek, Sugar Run, and Kinzua Creek, entering from the east, and Cornplanter and Hemlock Runs, and Conewango, Brokenstraw, Tidioute, and West Hickory Creeks, entering from the west; the Kinzua, Conewango, and Brokenstraw being navigable from ten to twenty miles, for rafts of timber and manufactured lumber. The county seat, and subsequently the county, were named after Joseph Warren, the distinguished American patriot who fell at the battle of Bunker Hill in 1775, and who was but eight years of age at the time Celeron made his appearance at the mouth of the Conewango.
