History of Corydon Township
Corydon Township was first settled by people in 1810. It officially became a township in 1829.
For a while, there were actually two places called Corydon Township! In 1846, a part of the original Corydon was given to a neighboring county, Warren County. This new area also kept the name Corydon.
But the Corydon Township in Warren County was later flooded. This happened when the Allegheny Reservoir was created in 1964. So now, there is only one Corydon Township left, the one in McKean County.
