Historic Map - Gallitzin, PA - 1901
Description
This aero-view print of Gallitzin, Pennsylvania was drawn by Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler and published by T. M. Fowler & James B. Moyer in 1901. Gallitzin was incorporated as a borough in 1878 and named after Prince Demetrius Augustine Gallitzin, a catholic priest. Gallitzin prospered greatly with the Pennsylvania coal and coke fields of the late 1800's. It was served by the Pennsylvania Railroad who in the 1850s created tunnels through the Allegheny Mountains to expand services. In 1902 a new tunnel, the Gallitzin Tunnel was begun.
The map from 1901 includes labeled streets, buildings and railroad lines.
