Bloomsburg: The Only Town in Pennsylvania
Bloomsburg is the county seat of Columbia County, in north-central Pennsylvania along the Susquehanna River. The population is approximately 12,800. Bloomsburg holds the unusual distinction of being the only municipality in Pennsylvania officially designated as a "town" rather than a borough or city. The community was laid out in 1802 and incorporated as the Town of Bloomsburg in 1870, receiving its unique designation through special legislation that preserved an older form of government.
Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania, founded in 1839 as the Bloomsburg Literary Institute and now part of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, enrolls approximately 8,000 students. The university's presence shapes the town's economy and demographics significantly, with the academic year driving much of the commercial activity in the downtown area.
The Bloomsburg Fair, held each September since 1855, is among the largest agricultural fairs in Pennsylvania and one of the oldest. The fair draws hundreds of thousands of visitors over its run and features livestock exhibitions, carnival rides, concerts, and traditional fair foods. The fairgrounds themselves cover approximately 236 acres on the western edge of the town.
Flooding has periodically affected Bloomsburg due to its location on the Susquehanna River. Tropical Storm Agnes in 1972 and Tropical Storm Lee in 2011 both caused significant damage to low-lying parts of the town. The Bloomsburg Downtown Revitalization Program has coordinated recovery and historic preservation efforts.
