[4] In 1892, in the northern part of the township, David Kiess & Brother owned and ran a sawmill.

J. W. Milnor Sr. also had one in the same section, and in the southeastern part of the township there was one run by C. D. Heim.

In 1842, when there was talk of applying for a post office, several persons met in the store of John Hoffman, on Mill Creek, and the question of a name came up.

"Warrensville", in honor of General Joseph Warren, was proposed, while others suggested "Livingston".

The post office was established July 25, 1842, named Warrensville, and Samuel Torbert was appointed postmaster.

He erected a grist and saw mill and carding machine, which were the first improvements of the kind in the settlement.

[4] In 1892 it contained two stores and one Temperance Hotel, kept by Isaac M. Else, as well as a tannery, carried on by E. W. Lundy, two wagon makers and two blacksmith shops.

Loyalsock Creek, a southward-flowing tributary of the West Branch Susquehanna River, forms the eastern boundary of the township.

[1] The eastern side of the township is drained directly by Loyalsock Creek, while the center is drained by Mill Creek, which flows south to join the Loyalsock, approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) above Montoursville.
