About Centre County: It was formed on February 13, 1800, as the result of ''an act erecting parts of Mifflin, Northumberland, Lycoming and Huntingdon into a separate county'' and calling it Centre. The county, of course, was named for its geographic location, but the exact geographical center of the state is in dispute. There was a sign on Greenland's store in Aaronsburg that staked its claim, but other sites around the county do so as well. The Centre County courthouse is at Bellefonte.
Potter Township, one of the original townships of Centre Co., was erected at May Sessions 1774, while the territory was in Northumberland County, and was called after Gen. James Potter, one of its earliest settlers. Potter's Old Fort is within its present limits. The turnpike from Lewistown to Bellefonte runs through it from South to North, meeting the turnpike from Lewisburg at the Old Fort Tavern. Its villages now are Centre Hill and Potters Mills, both post-offices. Grange Park, belonging to the Patrons of Husbandry, is located within its limits, adjoining Centre Hall station on the Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad. Progress Grange, No. 96, P. of H., was organized February 12, 1873. Hon. Leonard Rhone is now general manager at the park. The township has two precincts, North and South.
