Saint Matthew Church

Saint Matthew Church is located in Saltsburg, Pennsylvania, a historic borough that dates back over 200 years and was significantly shaped by the salt industry. The town's development began in the late 18th century, spurred by the discovery of salt crystals, which led to the establishment of a thriving salt production industry and the incorporation of Saltsburg as a borough in 1838.

As a canal town, Saltsburg flourished with the Pennsylvania Mainline Canal, which facilitated the transportation of goods and contributed to the local economy. Although the canal's decline in the mid-19th century led to economic challenges, Saltsburg retains its historical charm and character, reflecting its rich industrial heritage.
