College Hill (Beaver Falls)

College Hill is a neighborhood located in the northern section of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, United States.

Geneva College was founded in Northwood, Ohio in 1848,[1] but it moved to northern Beaver County in 1880 after being offered free land by the Harmony Society, which was highly influential in Beaver Falls.

[3] Since the 1960s, College Hill has become less of an industrial community than previously; the owner of the former Armstrong Cork factory donated the property to the college, which has since built an athletics complex on the site.

[9] It is about 1.5 minutes north of and 98 feet (30 m) higher than central Beaver Falls.

[11] Between 1910 and 1985, the College Hill Station provided rail transportation for the residents, but is now abandoned.
