New Vernon Township

New Vernon Township combines rural seclusion with a place in western Pennsylvania’s historic waterways in a way that reflects its geographic position in the French Creek watershed. French Creek, a tributary of the Allegheny River, runs through this part of Mercer County before continuing toward Franklin. Together with the portage to Lake Erie, its course formed an important eighteenth-century route between the Great Lakes country and the Allegheny. Today, farms, woodland and dispersed homes define the township more than urban density, while local roads link small communities across the rolling interior.
