Clymer

Travel through history and notice that not only the town but also several streets are named for signers of the Declaration of Independence. The town was founded in 1905 and named in honor of George Clymer, who also signed the Constitution of the United States.

Notable sites include the Dillen Boarding House (1905), now a private residence on Hancock Street, probably the first place of business in Clymer; the Streetcar Station (1908) on South Sixth Street, which provided service to the Indiana area until 1927; and a Mine Disaster plaque in front of the Clymer Borough Building on South Sixth Street, commemorating the terrible explosion at Sample Run Mine in 1926 that killed 44 mine workers.
