The boroughs of Hughesville and Picture Rocks are on land that was taken from Wolf Township.

[4] David Aspen was the first white settler to live within the borders of what is now Wolf Township.

He was scalped during the Revolutionary War, when his and other settlements throughout the Susquehanna valley were attacked by Loyalists and Native Americans allied with the British.

Homes and fields were abandoned, with livestock driven along and a few possessions floated on rafts on the river east to Muncy, then further south to Sunbury.

Sullivan's Expedition helped stabilize the area and encouraged resettlement, which continued after the war.

[5] Abraham Webster was another of the early settlers to be attacked, only he survived and returned to Wolf Township twelve years after the Big Runaway.

[4] The earliest industrial venture in Wolf Township was a gristmill constructed in 1816.

There were also several sawmills in the township that were part of the lumber industry that covered much of Pennsylvania during the late 1800s.

[1] Muncy Creek, a tributary of the West Branch Susquehanna River, flows through the township from northeast to southwest.
