Williamsport
Williamsport was established in 1828 by William Harrison. Being an industrious fellow, he constructed a short cut-off canal, tapping into the canal traffic on the Wabash and Erie Canal. This led to Williamsport’s nickname of Side-Cut City. The city has several historic landmarks, including an original Carnegie library, renamed the Williamsport-Washington Township Public Library. Other notable landmarks included the historic residences of the Kent and Hitchens House.
