HISTORIC MOMENTS IN TIME

Duboistown (pronounced 'doo-BOYS town') is named for its founders John and Mathias DuBois who bought 489 acres of land between 1852 and 1857.  The DuBois brothers divided their land into parcels and established the village (now offically a Pennsylvania borough) that bears their name.  John left the area before Duboistown was established as a borough.  He sold his business interests and moved west to Clearfield County.  He became quite wealthy and the city of DuBois was named in his honor.  A tribe of Susquehannock Indians had what appears to have been a fairly major settlement at Duboistown prior to the arrival of John Mathias.
