Body
WHEREAS, in 1796, just 8 years after Allegheny County was established, the area north of the Ohio River, known as Pitt Township, was divided into Pine and Deer Townships; and
WHEREAS, in 1836, Deer Township was divided into what are now known as East Deer and West Deer and a short time later, in 1858, by decree of court, Fawn Township was erected; and
WHEREAS, it was named Fawn Township because its founders considered it to be the “offspring” of Deer Township, its parent municipality; and
WHEREAS, Fawn Township is rich in Native American History, with land that provided ample hunting grounds for the Native Americans and Bull Creek, named for the great buffalo herds that dwelt in the Allegheny Valley; and
WHEREAS, throughout the past 150 years, landmark events have occurred that made Fawn Township into what it is today, including the organization of their first Volunteer Fire Department and the Fawn Township Auxiliary in 1948, the forming of the second Volunteer Fire Department shortly after the organization of the Ladies' Auxiliary in 1950, and an agreement forming the Fawn-Frazier Water Authority in 1971;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Allegheny County Council joins with Fawn Township in celebrating its 150th anniversary. We are proud to share this momentous occasion with you and wish you continued success in your next 150 years.
