Saltsburg Borough, located in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, is a historic town that emerged in the late 1700s as a significant center for the salt industry. With the discovery of salt crystals by Mrs. Deemer in the late 18th century, the town thrived, becoming a leading salt producer as the industry peaked in the 1830s, supported by the Pennsylvania Mainline Canal that enhanced transportation of goods.
Incorporated in 1838, Saltsburg showcases a rich industrial legacy, reflecting the growth spurred by both the salt industry and the canal system. Today, the borough retains its historical charm, representing a typical village shaped by its industrious past as it transitioned from canal transport to railroad connectivity in the mid-19th century.
