DuBois is a city and the most populous community in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, United States.

The town was later renamed for local lumber magnate John DuBois,[4] who came from a longstanding American family of French Huguenot descent.

Many of the town's original buildings and homes were funded and or donated by Mr. DuBois's lumber mill.

DuBois is located on U.S. Route 219, which connects with Buffalo, New York, to the north and Johnstown, Pennsylvania, to the south.

It connects the city with Punxsutawney and eventually leads to southwestern Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

[18] Local businesses are diverse; producing paper, lumber, food products, concrete, utility meters, machinery, and equipment, which are shipped to customers around the world via the area's extensive transportation infrastructure.

[19] The DuBois Mall is a regional retail center serving the Tri-County area with national stores including Old Navy and JC Penney.

DuBois receives television programming from the Johnstown-Altoona-State College, PA media market.

The DuBois Micropolitan area is served by The Courier-Express, a Monday-Friday evening daily newspaper with a circulation of approximately 10,000 homes and businesses.

It covers the area of The Courier-Express, plus wide circulation in Cameron, southern McKean, Clarion and Forest counties.

Regional advanced education resources include Pennsylvania State University – DuBois Campus, and Triangle Tech[24] all located in DuBois, with Lock Haven University – Clearfield Campus, South Hills School of Business and Technology – State College, and Penn West Clarion a short commute away.

[25] Alternatively, high school students may choose to attend Jefferson County Dubois Area Vocational-Technical School in Reynoldsville for training in the construction and mechanical trades, the culinary arts, information technology, and allied health careers.

Community recreational amenities consist of two lakes for boating and fishing, three beaches, two PGA-rated 18-hole golf courses, clay & hard tennis courts, two swimming pools, horse stables, and a campground that offers cottage rentals and camping sites.

Additionally, Treasure Lake has two pro shops, a marina, a country store, two concession stands, a town center, and a salon.

[28] Cook Forest is the most important tract of virgin timberland to be found in Pennsylvania and is a 35-mile drive from DuBois.

Scenic areas include the old growth forest, Fire Tower/Seneca Point and the Clarion River.

[29] DuBois is building a strong reputation for local entertainment and the arts in the tri-county area.

The Winkler Gallery of Fine Arts opened its doors in December 2003 as a co-op for local artists to display and sell their work to the public.

It was on April 16, 1896, that the DuBois Weekly Courier reported: "Some new developments in connection with the brewery may be looked for in the near future."

There were a number of reasons Hahne chose the DuBois site for his facility, but the most frequently cited was the excellence of the water supply.

The DuBois brands soon traveled far and wide for a brewery of its size, ranging up to 150 miles (240 km) away and selling well in Buffalo, Erie and Pittsburgh.

The brewery's 300-barrel kettle was kept busy churning out brands, while the left-over grain materials were pressed and sold for cattle feed and grist mills in the rural areas surrounding DuBois.
