Sewickley Township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania (1797, when it was part of Allegheny County,-1801) (extinct)

History

Sewickley Township, Allegheny County (1797-1800) and then Beaver County (1800-1801), Pennsylvania, existed from 1797-1801 and is now extinct.

It was created in 1797, when Pine township, Allegheny County, was divided by the east line of Breading's District of Depreciation Lands, and the part west of that line was called "Sewickley Township." Sewickley Township, Allegheny County, covered for the most part all that part of Beaver County east of the Big Beaver. As one of the original townships of Beaver County (1800), Sewickley covered the same territory.[1]

While no clear record has been found it appears that in 1801 Sewickley Township was divided into New Sewickley and North Sewickley Townships and it ceased to exist.[2]
