Lenape Heights, PA

Lenape Heights is an Armstrong County census-designated place in Manor Township, a compact residential community near Kittanning and the Allegheny River. The 2020 census counted 1,144 residents. Its small footprint is mostly homes and local streets, with the county seat, Armstrong School District, and nearby river towns providing the larger civic and shopping connections.

Lenape Elementary is part of Armstrong School District, putting a school serving local families at the center of the community’s public map. The elementary campus ties the neighborhood to the larger county education system. The name also carries the older Indigenous geography of western Pennsylvania, where Lenape people lived and traveled before later settlement reshaped the river valleys. Most day-to-day movement runs through Manor Township roads toward Kittanning, Ford City, and Freeport, while the Allegheny corridor remains the broader landscape. Lenape Heights is a small Pennsylvania community whose identity rests on a school, a township road network, and a name that keeps the region’s earlier history visible.
