[253] TOPOGRAPHICAL DESCRIPTION AND STATISTICS OF WESTMORELAND, WASHINGTON, FAYETTE, ALLEGHENY, SOMERSET, GREENE, ARMSTRONG, The topographical description of the several counties is presented under the following general heads, viz: Original Organization, Present Limits, Boundaries, Population, Townships, Physical Description, General Statistics, Streams, Education, Towns, Villages, Miscellaneous Matters and Remarks. [NO. XXVII.] WESTMORELAND COUNTY. On the presentation and mature consideration of a petition to the Leg islature, from a great number of inhabitants of the county of Bedford, west of the Laurel Hill, setting forth the great hardships of being remote from the seat of judicature and the public offices, the county of Westmoreland was erected by an act passed February 26, 1773, defining the boundaries as follows: "Beginning in the province line of Pennsylva nia, where the most westerly branch, commonly called the south of Great Branch of Youghiogheny river crosses the same; then down the easterly side of the said branch and river to Laurel Hill; thence along the ridge of the said hill, northeastward, so far as it can be traced, or till it runs into the Allegheny hill; thence along the ridge dividing the waters of Susquehanna and the Allegheny river, to the purchase line at the head of Susquehanna; thence due west to the limits of the province, and by the same to the place of beginning." By an act of 1785, Benjamin Davis, Michael Rough, John Shields, John Pomroy and Hugh Martin, were appointed commissioners to pur chase a piece of ground, in trust for the inhabitants of the county; with this proviso, "that the piece of land be not further east than the Nine Mile Run, nor further west than Bushy Run, nor further north than Loyalhanna, nor further south than five miles south of the Old Penn sylvania road leading to Pittsburg," and thereon to erect a court house and prison for the use of the county. The ample limits of this county have been gradually reduced by erecting the following counties, wholly or in part out of Westmoreland; Washington, 1781; Fayette, 1783; Allegheny, 1788; Butler, Mercer, Crawford, Erie, Warren, Venango and Armstrong, 1800; Indiana, 1803. This county is bounded on the north by Armstrong and Indiana; east by Cambria and Somerset; south by Fayette; and west by Washington and Allegheny. Its length is 37 miles, breadth 29, area 1,004 miles, and contains 662,560 acres of land. Central latitude, 40° 18', longitude 20° 32', west from Washington City. The population in 1790 was 16,018; in 1800, 22,726; in 1810, 26,492; in 1820, 30,540; in 1830, 38,500; in 1840, 42,699; at present about 45,000. The following table exhibits at one view the population of each township, according to census of 1810, '20, '30, and '40. The adult male population was variously employed. In mining, 45; agriculture, 4,948; commerce, 182; manufactures and trades, 1,235; navigation of the ocean, 3; of canals and rivers, 83; learned professions, 143. This county, lying west of the main ridge of the Allegheny mountain, belongs to secondary formation; and its physical aspect is diversified with hills and dales. Laurel Hill and Chestnut Ridge are the two principal mountain ranges of this county; the former constitutes its eastern boundary, separating it from Cambria and Somerset. Parallel to this, twelve miles further westward, is the Chestnut Ridge. The region of country between these two prominent and well defined ranges, is Ligonier Valley, named after an old Fort of that name, which was erected during the French and Indian wars, between 1757, and '63. The general character of the surface of this county is rolling and hilly; in many places, "table land, scooped out into hills and valleys by the action of water. The soil, save in the mountainous regions, is generally fertile; and under proper culture, highly productive. Limestone and bituminous coal are accessible in nearly all parts of the county. Iron ore is found in Donegal, Ligonier, Fairfield, Derry and several other townships. Salt works are numerous. Wells have been bored along the Conemaugh, Kiskiminetas, and on Sewickly creek; 120,000 bushels are annually manufactured. Westmoreland produces wheat of superior quality, and all other cereal grains are successfully cultivated. The products in general, are abundant. The following summary of the census of 1840, afford the reader some idea of the amount of actual wealth in the county. Mineral, Agricultural, Horticultural, Commercial, &c., Statistics of Westmoreland county, of 1840. Bituminous coal raised, 572,630 bushels; domestic salt produced, 117,073 bushels.

The aggregate amount of property taxable was in 1845, $5,312,068; whereof $4,861,780 was real estate. The county is abundantly watered by several large streams, and numerous small ones. The rivers are the Allegheny, Conemaugh, Kiskiminetas and Youghioghany. The Allegheny bounds on the west for several miles. For a description of it see Allegheny county. The Conemaugh, formed by the union of Little Conemaugh creek with Stony creek, forms the northern boundary to the mouth of Loyalhanna, and thence to its junction with the Allegheny, having in this portion of its course the name of Kiski |
