History Lesson Anyone?

The village of New Columbia or "Newky" as the locals call it, was formally laid out and incorporated in 1818 by David Yoder (born. 1765). He settled on the area once known as "Dogtown" on the banks of the Susquehanna River. The Yoders purchased 60 acres of land and sold off lots to settlers. 

In 1846 New Columbia was called New Columbus and consisted of 30 dwellings, several stores, and a tavern. By 1886, New Columbia had 100 houses, a hotel, a store, a post office, a train station, a boat shop and approximately 350 inhabitants.

1889 marked the year that White Deer Township residents hired their first Constable, Moses Brown. Moses was also a shoemaker. By the 1890's, a baker, confectioner, ice cream shop, and bicycle shop were some of the many businesses in New Columbia
