History

Mead Township was created on June 7, 1847, from parts of Sheffield, Kinzua, and Pleasant Townships. It was named for the early 19th-century settler, Darius Mead. [3]

In the early 1960s, construction began on the Kinzua Dam and a few small communities on the banks of the Allegheny River were evacuated and flooded. The nearby townships of Kinzua and Corydon, having greatly reduced populations, were merged into Mead in 1963 and 1964, respectively. [4]
