Galeton was once the largest town in Potter County with Gale Tannery fueling the town's growth. Much of the lumber harvested in Potter County began its journey to Williamsport via creeks and rivers in Galeton, Potter County's lumber industry that helped Williamsport become known as "The Lumber Capital of the World". In 1894, the water transport of logs ended when the Goodyears built a mill in town, others followed and Galeton became a booming turn of the century lumber town. |
