HISTORIC MOMENTS IN TIME

In February 1786, Loyalsock Township was formed from parts of Muncy Township through a petition process.  At that time this area was part of Northumberland County.  By 1795 it then became part of Lycoming County.  "Loyalsock" is an Indian word meaning middle creek because of its location halfway between both Muncy and Lycoming Creeks.  Today, Loyalsock is the second largest populated municipality in Lycoming County (City of Williamsport is the largest).

Learn more about Lycoming County history in the Register and Recorder office.  Office hours are 8:30-5:00 Monday thru Friday.  You can also go online at pa.uslandrecords.com.

For more involved genealogical  projects, please consult outside sources. For example, the Taber Museum is a good source of information in Lycoming County (570-326-3326). In addition to personal research, the museum is a helpful resource on residential (housing) research in addition to business historical research. History@DevelopingHistory.com is an email address for the museum. Also try https://tabermuseum.org/collections-research/genealogy. The James V. Browh Library (570-326-0536) is also a major source for genealogical information. Of course, there is always the Genealogical Society (LCGSgen@aol.com).
