Description

View of Canonsburg, Washington County, P.A., 1897 / drawn & published by T. M. Fowler & James B. Moyer.

This reproduction panoramic view of Canonsburg, Pennsylvania was drawn by Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler and published by T. M. Fowler & James B. Moyer in 1897. Canonsburg, named after local proprietor John Canon, was incorporated as a borough in 1802 along the banks of Chartiers Creek. The town maintained as a trade center, but its prominent economy revolved around Jefferson College.

Jefferson College, located in the main section of town, emerged as the state��s largest learning institution by the 1840's. After the American Civil War, the college merged with Washington College and was soon after moved there.

The railroad reached Canonsburg in 1871, opening the area to mining and manufacturing interests. Coal was mined nearby and steel companies swelled the community. In 1897, the drilling for oil was becoming important to the community��s economy, as is indicated by the many oil derricks depicted in this map published in that year.

The map shows Canonsburg��s labeled streets, buildings, bridges, oil wells and railroad lines.
