Peru is known as an "unincorporated community," which means it's a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or a town. Instead, it's governed by the larger township.
Peru is sometimes unofficially called Lauvertown. You can find Peru northeast of State College and southwest of Pleasant Gap. It's situated along Pennsylvania Route 26, close to the Pennsylvania State Correctional Institution at Rockview.
