Bloomsburg, County seat in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, US
Bloomsburg occupies 4.7 square miles along the north bank of the Susquehanna River and the east side of Fishing Creek, with Turkey Hill in the northern section.
Ludwig Eyer established the settlement in 1802 under the name Eyersburg, which later merged with Bloom township in 1870 to form the current municipality.
The Bloomsburg Fair, established in 1855, maintains its position as Pennsylvania's largest agricultural exhibition, drawing visitors from across the state each year.
The town features a council of six members plus a mayor with voting rights, differentiating its governance structure from standard borough administration systems.
Bloomsburg stands as Pennsylvania's only incorporated town, as all other municipalities in the state are designated as either cities or boroughs.
