Cresson Township

Cresson Township has served as a rural community in Pennsylvania’s Allegheny Mountains since the 19th century. In Cambria County, its wooded uplands form part of the Appalachian Plateau, while nearby Cresson developed around railroad routes crossing the mountain crest. The former Cresson Sanatorium, opened in 1913 for tuberculosis treatment, recalls the period when the area’s mountain air drew medical institutions. Today, the township remains part of a region shaped by rail history, forested ridges and links toward Altoona and Johnstown.
