History
The borough is situated on lands that were originally granted in 1769 to the veteran officers who served under Colonel Henry Bouquet during Pontiac's War (1763-1766) in lieu of payment for their service and ultimate victory at the Battle of Bushy Run in defense of Fort Pitt (Pittsburgh). In 1782 or 1783, Elias and Catharina Jungman (Youngman) and their children, came from Fort Augusta (now Sunbury) Pennsylvania to the Buffalo Valley with 8 other families to settle on land purchased by Elias from Catharina's father, George Nagle. In the summer of 1792, Elias surveyed and divided the land into 60' by 120' plots that were sold to other adventurous settlers, many of them German, and the village of Mifflinburg was formed (common nomenclature was attributed to the town being named "Youngmanstown", as was historically the case, but was Mifflinburg in the deeds as early as 1792). In 1797, George Rote (Rhoade) laid out a village just east of Youngmanstown, known as Greenville or Rotestown (common nomenclature). Eventually, the two settlements joined at Third Street.
