History

Montgomery was incorporated as a borough by the Court of Quarter Sessions of the Peace of Lycoming County, Pennsylvania on March 21, 1887 from part of Clinton Township. The history of the settlement of Montgomery begins in 1783 when John Lawson established a homestead there. Nicholas Shaffer built a gristmill in Montgomery in 1795. A sawmill and a wool carding mill were other early industries found on Black Hole Creek which flows through Montgomery.

P. M. Barber opened a distillery in 1859 and later a planing mill in 1869 on the site of the distillery which maintained sustained success. Barber with his partners, A.B. Henderson, Jesse Rank, and Nathan Fowler laid out a town around their mill in 1870. The town was further expanded by the success of Montgomery Machine Shops which started in 1873, under the supervision of Levi Houston, and built woodworking machinery sold to clients throughout the United States, Canada and Australia.

Montgomery was previously known as Black Hole for the creek that flows through it and the post office established in 1836 bearing that name. It was also known as Clinton Mills, again named for the post office. The name Montgomery stems from another name for the same post office, Montgomery Station.
