Bradford County, County seat in northeastern Pennsylvania, US.
Bradford County is an administrative division in northeastern Pennsylvania with rolling terrain, farmland, and the Susquehanna River running through its central area. The landscape consists of agricultural fields interspersed with forests and several small towns.
The county was established in 1810 as an administrative reorganization of northeastern Pennsylvania, which had previously been inhabited by Native Americans. This creation enabled European settlement and the development of an agricultural-based economy throughout the region.
The county's identity is rooted in farming traditions that shaped its communities, and this agricultural heritage remains visible in the landscape and how local towns are organized around family farms.
Towanda Borough serves as the administrative hub and is easily accessible with community information available during standard hours. The county is best explored by car since towns are spread across rural roads and public transportation is limited.
Cole Cemetery in Towanda Township is the oldest burial ground in the county and contains graves of the original settlers from its founding era. This quiet site documents the early families who established the region's communities.
