Original Townships of Beaver County, Pennsylvania, 1800.tif

Sewickley Township was a township that was located in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, from 1797 until 1800, and after in Beaver County until the town's extinction in 1801.

History

Sewickley Township was created in 1797 when Pine township, Allegheny County, was divided by the east line of Breading's District of Depreciation Lands, and the part west of that line was called "Sewickley Township."

Sewickley Township, Allegheny County, covered for the most part all that part of Beaver County east of the Big Beaver. As one of the original townships of Beaver County (1800), Sewickley covered the same territory. [1]

While no clear record has been found, it appears that Sewickley Township was divided into the New Sewickley and North Sewickley townships in 1801 and then ceased to exist. [2]

The Bridgewater Historic District is a historic district in Bridgewater, Pennsylvania, United States. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 28, 1996, it includes buildings built between 1818 and 1933, although the most significant buildings in the district are those that were built before the Civil War in the 1860s. Located at the confluence of the Ohio and Beaver Rivers, Bridgewater was a transportation center as the terminus of the Bridgewater Canal during the pre–Civil War era. This prosperity is reflected in many of the district's buildings: the adjacent communities of Beaver and Rochester were less significant during that time, and accordingly have a much smaller number of period buildings.
