Horacetown's existence in our area was very, very brief. It was incorporated as a separate political unit 19 February 1840 and lasted just long enough to have one census and one tax assessment taken, before going home to its mother, Lawrence Township. Below is what we can learn from our 1883 Tioga County History about this short lived borough.

Employees of Horace Frizelle of Kilburn Mills in Lawrence Township living on east bank of River. Petition for incorporation of Borough called Horacetown, passed 19th Feb. 1840
