History of the Borough

On March 18, 1893 the borough of Sugar Grove was partitioned from the township by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  With elections taking place on April 18, 1893 the oath of office was taken on April 25, 1893 and the borough was in  operation.  Originally 1.11 square miles, the borough was surveyed and its exact twists and turns are laid out in the original minute book preserved in the Sugar Grove Free Library.

The original Burgess (today called Mayor) was E.R. Wheelock.  While William Haggerty, James B Hamilton, RJ White, Archibald M MacDonald, and William A Younie filled out the first table of the council.  Eugene Abbott was elected the first Constable of the borough.
