This city is a very well managed industrial corner of Pennsylvania State with only 28 square miles of territory and elevated more than 733 feet above sea level. Witness of the American Revolution, this land learned how to take advantage during the "storm times" and became a maritime center during the war days, and shined as a production center of iron and steel during the Industrial Revolution. Today, you may have the opportunity to take a trip down the past of this territory, taking a look the the pictures of the Old factory in Erie; located across the railroad.
