History Highlight
Did you know that one of the first iron forges in Johnstown was established as early as 1807?

John Holliday established an iron forge known as the Cambria Forge on the banks of the Stonycreek river.  The forge manufactured bar iron from Juniata blooms and pig iron. A major flood destroyed the forge and adjacent dam around 1811.  Following this, the forge was relocated along the Little Conemaugh on Iron St.
