HISTORIC MOMENTS IN TIME
Lycoming County was created on April 13, 1795 from part of Northumberland County. Its name is derived from a Delaware Indian word meaning "sand" or gravelly creek." The village of Antes Fort (1769) is reportedly the first settlement in the county. John Henry Antes was one of the earliest pioneers. The Register and Recorder Office has copies of deeds that were recorded by Antes, providing some interesting history from that time period.
Learn more about John Henry Antes and Lycoming County's history by going on-line (pa.uslandrecords.com) to look at some of the old deeds and corresponding history associated with them.
