Port Allegany is nestled in the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains in the heart of the Pennsylvania Wilds. It was originally known as Canoe Place because it was the location where travelers coming overland from the Susquehanna River could continue by boat on the Allegheny River. It’s name was changed to Port Allegany in 1838, and was incorporated in September 1881.
Today, Port Allegany is a quaint town that provides residents with a safe environment surrounded by forests and access to almost any form of outdoor recreation you can imagine.
