Pennsdale
Pennsdale is an unincorporated community in Muncy Township, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, United States. History of Lycoming county, Pennsylvania, Thomas W. Lloyd 1929, Chapter XV Page 188 The first deed recorded in Lycoming County is for a property in Muncy Township. It is from Reuben Haines to Catherine Greenleafe for a large tract of land. Early in its history members of the Society of Friends settled in the township and gave the name of Pennsdale to the little community they established. At first it was known as Pennsville and then Hicksville. In 1829 Job Packer established a pottery there which he called "The Elizabethtown Pottery." But the name did not stick and eventually the little hamlet became known as Pennsdale, and that name has clung to it down to the present day. |
