Many traders visited Indiana County during the 18th century. Scots-Irish from Cumberland County, Pennsylvania began to arrive in Indiana County during the 1780s and were soon followed by German Lutherans in the 1790s. Indiana, the county seat, was laid out in 1805 on land given by George Clymer (1739-1813). Blairsville, laid out in 1818, became a key city along the Huntingdon, Cambria, and Indiana Turnpike, which later became Route 22. The Indiana County Land Title Abstracts and Deeds Collection is housed in 10 archival boxes. This collection is a miscellaneous assortment of land titles, which includes over 1,000 property transactions in Indiana County, Pennsylvania. These land title abstracts and deeds date from 1784-1885.)
