Description | The People's Journal, originating in Coudersport, Pennsylvania, in 1850, reflected the vibrant history of Potter County. Founded within a region rich in natural resources, Potter County boasted dense forests and significant waterways, attracting early settlers primarily engaged in lumbering. Coudersport, the county seat, played a pivotal role in the area's development, with its origins tied to the Ceres Land Company and its proprietor John Keating. Initially known as the Potter County Journal, the paper underwent several transformations, aligning itself with the Free Soil movement and later with the Republican Party. Over the years, ownership changed hands, and the publication persisted under various names until 1969, chronicling the evolving landscape and societal shifts of Potter County. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1857 of this newspaper. |
