Indiana County
Indiana County was little more than a collection of forests and sparse settlements when it was formed in 1803. At the center of the county lay the area that was to become the city of Indiana, a community built on land donated by George Clymer, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Over the next one hundred fifty years, the county embraced the growth of numerous settlements, farms, logging operations, small businesses, and a booming coal industry that fueled the railroads of western Pennsylvania. With scenes of rolling hills and railroads, mining towns and main streets, from Rossiter to Saltsburg, Indiana County celebrates the region's bicentennial through nearly two hundred vintage postcards from the first half of the twentieth century.

Indiana, Pennsylvania
Nestled in the hills of scenic western Pennsylvania, the borough of Indiana is a center of learning and the seat of county government. Incorporated in 1816, the borough lies in the heart of the state's bituminous coal region. Indiana has been home to a wide variety of industries and businesses, from breweries and lumber companies to higher education and Christmas tree farms. Among thousands of successful families and individuals, Indiana is famous as the home of actor Jimmy Stewart, Gov. John S. Fishe, and author Ed Abbey. Indiana, Pennsylvania is a compilation of stunning photographs that reveal a historical community. Included in this valuable history are the secret connections to the Underground Railroad, the arrival of electricity and telephones, the first automobiles, and the last Civil War veteran. Indiana, Pennsylvania also features many parts of the borough that have vanished, such as Indiana's early buildings and most of the old downtown hotels.
