Cokeville, Pennsylvania

Cokeville was a town in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, United States.

Following the St. Patrick's Day flood of 1936, the Army Corps of Engineers began planning a dam project on the Conemaugh River to harness the flood waters.

In 1952, as the town was being evacuated for the flood control project, most of these structures were razed, but some were moved up the hill to Cokeville Heights near Rt.

The name was changed in the early 1870s to Coketown, Coketon, and finally Cokeville after The Isabella Furnace Coke Company erected a 200 oven coke plant on the hillside above the town in 1872.

The coke produced here was shipped to the Isabella Blast Furnace in Etna, Pennsylvania on the Allegheny River.
