Edinboro, PA

Welcome to Edinboro, PA!

The Pennsylvania Heritage Community of Edinboro offers the best combination of an active urban center with a pleasant small-town atmosphere—all in a beautiful rural setting! The once densely forested areas, now known as Edinboro and Washington Township, were home to Eriez, Iroquois, and Cornplanter Native Americans, who referred to the region as Conneauttee, meaning “land of the living snowflake.” Then in 1801, William Culbertson built a gristmill near Conneauttee Lake and subdivided his 500-acre plot to establish the beginnings of present-day Edinboro. Now Edinboro is a bustling college town and summer lake resort offering residents and visitors alike a multitude of educational, cultural, social, and recreational opportunities with a friendly, small-town feel.
