Foster Township

Tucked into the forested Allegheny Plateau of northern Pennsylvania, Foster Township is a place whose character is shaped by rolling uplands and the long-standing use of the land for timber and oil. This McKean County township borders Bradford, a regional center whose nineteenth-century petroleum boom left a lasting imprint on the area. The Bradford oil field, developed after oil was struck in 1871, became an important chapter in the early U.S. petroleum industry. Rather than a dense urban core, Foster Township is defined by dispersed residential areas, wooded roads, and the working landscape of Pennsylvania’s northern tier.
