About

Created out of Lycoming County on March 15, 1847, the small (452 square miles) county of Sullivan lies in the wild and rugged hills and valleys of the Endless Mountains of north-central Pennsylvania, between the north and west branches of the Susquehanna River. These lands were part of the Province of Pennsylvania's 1768 purchase from the Iroquois. The county always has been entirely rural, with no settlements of great size. It was named in honor of state senator Charles Craven Sullivan, of Butler County, who greatly aided the passage of the enabling legislation for the new county. Its historic industries include lumbering, leather tanning, and glassmaking, with tourism growing in importance beginning in the late 1800s.
