About Parker

Parker is a quiet river town in Armstrong County with a fun claim to fame: it is officially known as the Smallest City in the USA. During the 1870s oil boom, thousands of workers rushed in, leading the community to incorporate as a full city. When the oil ran out, the crowds moved on, but Parker kept its official charter. Today, with around 700 residents, life here centers on the scenic Allegheny River, offering great boating, fishing, and an easygoing small-town rhythm for anyone looking for peace and quiet.
