Washington Township

The landscape around Washington Township is a wooded section of the Allegheny Plateau, whose rolling ridges and narrow valleys have shaped dispersed settlement and an economy historically tied to timber and coal. In Jefferson County, the township remains predominantly rural, with homes, farms and forest rather than a dense urban centre. This part of Pennsylvania grew through lumbering, railroads and bituminous-coal extraction during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Washington Township also lies within the wider Pennsylvania Wilds travel region, associated with public forests and small inland communities.
