The County of Crawford lies in northwestern Pennsylvania. Originally it was inhabited by the Iroquiois Indians and other tribes and nations. In later years, the land was acquired by a group of Dutch investors under title of the Holland Land Company and resold to settlers. The Commonwealth allocated land to its Revolutionary War soldiers as a bonus settlement. The county was formed in 1800 from a portion of Allegheny County and named after Colonel William Crawford, an early military hero and close friend of George Washington. Crawford County is shaped in the form of a rectangle, with the southeast corner missing. It is approximately 50 miles in length and 26 miles in width with a total area of 1,012 square miles. It is bordered by the following counties: on the north by Erie, on the east by Warren, on the south by Mercer and Venango, and on the west by Ashtabula and Trumbull Counties in Ohio. The entire county lies in the Appalachian Plateau. Elevation varies from slightly less than 850 feet at the Erie County line to more than 1,900 feet above sea level in Sparta Township in the northeast corner. Crawford County consists of several small, nearly extinct lakes. It is also home to three major natural lakes: Conneaut, the largest natural lake in Pennsylvania, Canadohta, and Sugar. Pymatuning, the largest artificial lake in Pennsylvania, is also located here. The two principal streams are French Creek and Oil Creek, both flowing south into the Allegheny system. Conneaut Creek in the northwest drains into Lake Erie. The county has grown from a population of 2,346 in 1800 to 90,366 in 2000. It is divided into 35 townships, 14 boroughs, and two major cities.
