Conestoga Indian Town

The Conestoga Indians lived in scattered settlements along this stream. They were the last of the once mighty Susquehannocks. Their final location was the Conestoga Indian Town which was along the road leading to Creswell. William Penn visited the Conestoga Indians in 1701. The remnants of this tribe were massacred by the Paxton boys in December 1763.
