History and geography

Fannettsburg was platted in 1790, and named after Fannett Township. [2] A post office called Fannettsburg was established in 1809. The spelling of the town's name was changed to Fannettsburgh in 1827, but was restored to Fannettsburg in 1892. [3]

Fannettsburg's ZIP code, 17221, covers 10.31 sq mi (26.7 km2), a population of 637 and 316 housing units, 252 of them occupied. [4] [5] The vacant housing unit stats is misleading, however, as the data includes a former campground that has vacant mobile homes.
