Bullskin Township
Bullskin Township of Fayette County was formed in March 1784. It is and was an agricultural site with various-sized farms.
According to the early settlers, there was an old pioneer from the mountains who was said to have killed an animal of the bovine species — a wild bull or bison —of such extraordinary size that its skin would have stretched across the entire area. Some residents believe that is the reason why the township got its name.
Bullskin Township is listed in the book Barn Quilting and the American Quilt Trail as the first quilt trail in Pennsylvania.
