Wyalusing is a borough in Bradford County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is part of Northeastern Pennsylvania. The population was 596 as of the 2010 census.[5]

History

Keystone Marker for Camptown, the inspiration for "Camptown Races", 4.2 miles (6.8 km) north of Wyalusing.[6]

The history of Wyalusing dates back centuries. It was originally known as M'chwihilusing. The Wyalusing Path was a historic trace that ran from what is now Wyalusing to the Native American village of Canaserage (what is now Muncy, on the West Branch Susquehanna River). Before 1750, Wyalusing was known as Gahontoto and was home to the Tehotachsee tribe of Native Americans. Eventually, this small tribe was completely wiped out by the Cayuga tribe.

In the spring of 1765, the Moravian Christian Munsees, a group of absolute pacifists, founded a settlement Friedenshütten (Tents or Cabins of Peace) in what is now Wyalusing. This settlement lasted for several years, but was finally abandoned when the group led by David Zeisberger moved to Schoenbrunn (near Gnadenhutten, Ohio) in 1772.[7] In 1792, the chief of the Cayugas and approximately 20 other families rebuilt the town.[8]

In the 19th century, the town began to prosper as it became a shipping area for logs and other items on the Susquehanna River. In 1820, the construction of the Welles Mill along Wyalusing Creek made Wyalusing a prime area for people to farm and raise crops.[8] In 1887, Wyalusing became a borough.[8] Many of the buildings constructed in the late 19th century and early 1920s are still part of Main Street today.

Cargill meat packing plant, Wyalusing

Wyalusing is home to one of the biggest beef processing plants on the East Coast. Cargill regional beef Wyalusing is located just a couple miles outside of town. This plant was originally started in the late 1970s by the local Taylor family as a small meat processing plant. It eventually grew into a multimillion-dollar business that employs over 1,200 people from the surrounding area. Cargill is one of the biggest suppliers of ground beef to large grocery chains such as Wegmans, Giant, Shop Rite and more. In 2002, the Taylor family sold the business to the Cargill corporation, one of the largest privately owned companies in the United States.
