This borough was formed from the western part of Union, July 14, 1885. It is an exclusively agricultural district, with suburban propensities. The Washington road has been macadamized, and other improvements are contemplated. The name was first applied to a hotel, and is still retained in that capacity. It became a postofiice May 10, 1844. There are three churches — Wesley Methodist, Mount Pisgah Presbyterian and German Lutheran. Rev. G. H. Schnorr, pastor of the latter, was the first burgess of the borough. Mount Pisgah was organized in 1830, and reorganized in 1869. Rev. Philip S. Jennings is pastor.
