Volant is a borough in northern Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, United States.

[4] In 1868, J.P. Locke purchased the mill and 100 acres (0.40 km2) of land and began laying out a settlement of 30 lots, which he called Lockeville.

Because of Volant's rural location there was a livery stable, two harness shops, a blacksmith and a veterinarian.

As the town progressed toward establishing larger business ventures, a stone quarry was set up around 1900, along with a lumber mill and brick company.

In 1984 the mill reopened for the first time in over 20 years as a country gift and antique store.

There are over 50 shops and restaurants, turning Volant into one of western Pennsylvania's tourist attractions.
