About Waterford

Waterford is an Erie County borough surrounded by Waterford Township, with U.S. 19 and PA 97 crossing its older center. George Washington passed through the area in 1753 on his way to deliver a message to the French, and Lake LeBoeuf helped make the site strategically useful. The borough’s historic district, Eagle Hotel, and 1875 Waterford Covered Bridge keep that early-road story visible. Waterford is northwest Pennsylvania in a compact package of old routes, old buildings, and a lake just south of town.
