Wysox Township

Wysox, Pennsylvania

Wysox, the Indian's fertile "place of grapes", founded in 1773, is situated in the center of Bradford County in the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania. The extensive flat land here is part of the long Susquehanna Valley and is remarkable in a country of narrow valleys and rolling hills.

This lush river valley sustained men ten thousand years ago as the age of ice receded into the North. A brief two hundred years ago, the Indians lived here beside their corn fields.

Now the valley throbs with trade and industry. A commercial strip borders U.S. Route 6 and the Masonite Corporation's hardboard plant. The valley is still uncrowded however, with many fields. Low wooded hills, some blue or purple in the distance, surround the valley. Often the air has a sparkle of purity and at other times the haze shrouds the distance in mystery.

By-passed as yet by the mainstream, Wysox is within two hundred miles of the Eastern Metropolis. Many are finding it an enjoyable place to live.
