History

Rossiter was formed in 1901 as a coal mining town, and was originally named after William Rossiter, nominally the chief stockholder of the Clearfield Bituminous Coal Corporation and the treasurer of the parent New York Central Railroad, which built a branch from Punxsutawney into the town. Many of the residents went through the infamous 1927 Indiana bituminous strike. Coal mining stopped in the late 1940s when the mines shut down.
