Description
View of McDonald, Washington County, P.A., 1897 / drawn & published by T. M. Fowler & James B. Moyer.
This panoramic print of McDonald, Pennsylvania was drawn by Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler and published by T. M. Fowler & James B. Moyer in 1897. McDonald was founded in 1775 by Indian agent John McDonald, who established a trading post there. The railroad established a station at McDonald in 1865. McDonald was incorporated as a borough in 1889. At the same time oil was discovered throughout the region and McDonald began to swell with oilmen.
