History

Negley was the site of a Native American community before European colonization, located on a section of the Great Trail that “crossed the pancake” on the way between Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Coshocton, Ohio.

Negley derives its name from Civil War Major General James S. Negley, who hailed from Pittsburgh. After the end of the Civil War, Negley returned to Pittsburgh and served in the U.S. House of Representatives for Pennsylvania in the late 19th century. After retiring from politics, he entered the railroad business and became president of the New York, Pittsburgh & Chicago Railway, which in 1883 platted Negley as the first new town along its line, named in his honor. Negley grew in to a small mining community based from a nearby coal mine operated by the Powers Mining Company.

The community formerly had an honor roll for residents who were veterans of World War II on the east side, but it was removed in the 1960s due to deterioration. A Negley post office has been in operation since 1883, which serves eastern Middleton Township and Lake Tomahawk. It bears the ZIP code of 44441.
