History
editThe borough was formed in 1978 when a local businessman worked to secede from the dry township of South Franklin after voters there defeated a referendum that would allow alcohol sales at his country club.[3] The population was twenty at the time of the 2020 census,[4] making it the third least populous borough in the state; only S.N.P.J. and Centralia had fewer residents.[5]
Pennsylvania law has since been changed to require at least five hundred residents in a newly formed borough.[6]
