McKean Township

Few townships in northwestern Pennsylvania have a history as closely tied to the early Commonwealth as McKean Township. Named for Thomas McKean, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and Pennsylvania governor, it occupies rolling inland country in Erie County, south of Lake Erie. Farms, woodland and low-density residential areas place it within the Lake Erie watershed and the wider Erie metropolitan area, while the city of Erie supplies the region’s principal urban and lakefront focus. The township helps illustrate the transition from Erie’s urban edge to rural northwestern Pennsylvania.
