About Middleburg, PA

Native Americans had lived in the region for centuries. White settlers are recorded living in the area in 1755.

He was also the owner of land located on the north bank of the Middle Creek on which engineer Frederick Evans laid out the town in 1800. This town became known as Middleburgh circa 1825, and was incorporated as a borough in 1864.
