About Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania

Jersey Shore is a borough of 4,166 people in Lycoming County, on the West Branch Susquehanna River just below the mouth of Pine Creek. Brothers Reuben and Jeremiah Manning laid out the town around 1785 and called it Waynesburg. Because the Mannings had come from New Jersey, people in a rival settlement across the river in Nippenose Township took to calling the place the "Jersey Shore." The nickname held on so firmly that in 1826, the year the borough was incorporated on March 15, the name Waynesburg was officially given up.

Its location on the river made Jersey Shore a natural base for traders who supplied pioneers moving up the West Branch and into the Pine Creek valley. For years, though, it mattered little as a stop on the West Branch Canal or the stagecoach routes. That changed after 1901, when the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad made public its plans for large car shops near Avis, 4 miles west, where over 1,000 skilled mechanics came to earn wages well above the county's average.

“Built 1776 by Col. Henry Antes. Site on the opposite side of the river at the mouth of Antes Creek. Nearby was Antes Mill, first in the region. The stockade was abandoned during the Great Runaway; burned by Indians.”

  • Two trolleys, two railroadsHoping to keep new shop workers living and spending in Jersey Shore, not a rival town, local businessmen bought ground and laid the Jersey Shore Electric Street Railway out to the shops. In 1905 the Jersey Shore and Antes Fort Railway opened, running 2 miles southeast to the Pennsylvania Railroad station at Antes Fort. The town that once lacked a rail link now had two, and it boomed with a silk mill, a creamery and a railroad valve maker.
  • Potatoes at one priceThomas Martin farmed near town and sold his produce to residents and to travelers passing through. Once he decided his potatoes were worth 35 cents a bushel, that was the price, whether competitors charged 50 cents or dropped to 25. His steady dealing made him a leading man in Jersey Shore and Lycoming County. His son Lewis Martin, known for the same honesty, became county prothonotary and a deputy U.S. Marshal.
  • The preacher who stopped one SundayThe Reverend John Hays Grier, a Presbyterian missionary, left his home in Doylestown planning to serve pioneers farther west. He reached Jersey Shore in 1814, stopped for a Sunday and, for the most part, stayed. He built congregations here and upstream in Lock Haven, led both for 14 years, then served Jersey Shore alone for 23 more. In 1822 he was also elected sheriff of Lycoming County.
  • Rail steel since 1938John A. Schultz founded Jersey Shore Steel Company in 1938, as the Great Depression neared its end, to roll steel railroad rails; it produced 15,000 tons that first year. After his death in 1943, sons Charles and John A. Jr. took over and grew it, though a 1963 fire almost destroyed the mill and the 1972 Agnes Flood caused severe damage.
  • A 14-bed hospital in 1911Four physicians founded Jersey Shore Hospital on October 10, 1911, with 14 beds, set up in the L.D. Herrit family's rebuilt home. X-ray service, a maternity ward and a residence for nurses followed over the next few years. In 1922 the borough recognized it as a community hospital, and it became a not-for-profit, as it remains today.
