History

New Philadelphia had historically been an anthracite mining town.

Because of the high number of Lithuanians and Irish in the area, there was much separation of the two nationalities. This tension ultimately resulted in the forming of two separate Catholic churches; Sacred Heart (Lithuanian) and Holy Family (Irish). There was also a town-wide brawl that occurred as a result of this tension. The dispute was settled by the priests from Sacred Heart and Holy Family calling their respective patrons to stop fighting and buying each other a beer.

In 2008, the two Catholic parishes were merged to create Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church.

In 2012, the Souls Harvest Baptist Church relocated to New Philadelphia from Port Carbon. They are now located at the corner of Kimber and Clay streets in the building that once housed a Methodist church. This building is the oldest building in town.
