Curwensville is a borough in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, United States, 45 miles (72 km) north of Altoona on the West Branch Susquehanna River.

Coal mining, tanning, and the manufacture of fire bricks were the industries at the turn of the 20th century.

Once the Borough was established and local government formed, many improvements were made to this country village, including sidewalks being laid on Filbert, Thompson, and Pine Streets in May 1855, the first bridge constructed in the borough in 1870, and in 1890 the first water system was established.

The town began to do well financially because of the lumber trade along the West Branch of the Susquehanna River.

North American Refractories Company (NARCO) was a brick plant in Curwensville.

The sandstone quarry owned by Russell Stone Products, Inc. in Curwensville, PA, is a valued asset.

Although the site had remained dormant for a lengthy period of time in the 1900s, today it is a viable source that has extensively supplied material for many prominent projects nationwide.
