Goheenville, Pennsylvania
Goheenville is an unincorporated community in Boggs Township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. It sits about 7.7 miles south of New Bethlehem and 12 miles north of Kittanning along PA Route 66.
The place began in 1840 when George W. Goheen built a grist mill and two saw mills at Scrub Grass Creek. Soon a house, a store, and other buildings followed, and the community grew to include a public school, a physician’s office, three mills, a blacksmith shop, and several homes.
The Scrub Grass post office started nearby in 1844, moved to Goheenville around 1850, and was renamed Goheenville in 1866 with George W. Goheen as the second postmaster. The post office operated until 1905. The 1876 Armstrong County Atlas lists Goheenville.
