Courtdale Borough

Courtdale Borough was incorporated on September 6, 1897.  Prior to its incorporation, Courtdale Borough was part of Kingston Township and known by various names including “Brownville”, “Gabtown”, “Tattletown”, and “Pringleville”.  The name of “Courtdale” was chosen in honor of the Courtright family, once owners of a large farm in the borough.  Courtdale consists of one square mile of land.  

          At the time of incorporation, Courtdale had just over one thousand residents and approximately eighty homes.  Many early residents were employed by the Kingston Coal Company.  Working farms still operated in the borough in the early days.

Courtdale Borough remains a small family-oriented community located on the edge of a large urban area.  The Borough will celebrate the 125^th anniversary of its incorporation in 2022.
