History
Minerva began when a surveyor named John Whitacre purchased 125 acres of land from Isaac Craig in 1818 for the construction of a log mill. The town, named for his niece, Minerva Ann Taylor, grew up around the mill. Minerva was established in 1833 and incorporated in 1862. Its first schoolhouse was built in 1846.
The Sandy and Beaver Canal helped drive Minerva's early economy, to be replaced in importance by the Pennsylvania Railroad in the 1840s. Minerva manufacturers Willard and Isaac Pennock patented the United States' first steel railroad car in the nineteenth century. In 1915, the town's weekly newspaper, The Minerva News, charged one dollar for an annual subscription.
