MCVEYTOWN GEAR

McVeytown's story begins in 1762, when settlers first established what would become a thriving community on the west bank of the Juniata River. Originally known as Waynesburg, the town was formally laid out in 1795 and incorporated in 1833. Today, McVeytown remains a tight-knit borough steeped in history and natural beauty. The area's most famous son is Dr. Joseph Rothrock, born here on April 9, 1839. Known as the "Father of Pennsylvania Forestry," Rothrock's visionary work led to the creation of Pennsylvania's state parks and forests, including the expansive Rothrock State Forest. His legacy of conservation shaped the landscape that McVeytown residents cherish today. Wear your McVeytown heritage with pride.
