Historic Map - Washington, PA - 1897
Description
This aero-view print of Washington, Pennsylvania was drawn by Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler and published by T. M. Fowler & James B. Moyer in 1897. Washington was established along the National Road, thirty miles southwest of Pittsburgh, in the late 1700's.
Washington was incorporated as a borough in 1810. It is the county seat of Washington County. An early landowner in Washington was steamboat inventor Robert Fulton.
Washington & Jefferson College was formed in Washington in 1865 from two competing colleges, Jefferson of Canonsburg and the college at Washington. The college, that emphasizes the study of liberal arts and sciences, still functions today.
Washington was found to contain valuable veins of bituminous coal which in the late 1800's were harvested vigorously. Washington was a manufacturing center for the glass making industry in the 1800's.
The map from 1897 includes labeled streets, buildings, oil wells and railroad routes.
