Welcome to Tioga County, Pennsylvania

{PA Grand Canyon in the fall}   Tioga County was formed on March 26, 1804 from parts of Lycoming County.   The name, derived from an Indian word meaning "the forks of a stream", honors the Tioga River.   Wellsboro, the county seat, lies just 12 miles east of the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon, one of state’s most spectacular natural attractions.  While you’re visiting the Canyon, be sure to enjoy the charming and historic appeal reflected by the town’s Victorian architecture, tree-lined streets, and old fashioned gas lights.    With seven lakes and thousands of acres of state forest land throughout the county, there is always room for campers, hikers, bikers, and fishers to spread out and enjoy the peaceful serenity of nature.       For more information on Tioga County attractions and events please check out www.visittiogapa.com , or to the Wellsboro Area Chamber of Commerce at www.wellsboropa.com.   The Tioga County Development Corporation (TCDC) is the Lead Economic Development Agency for Tioga County. TCDC offers several services including finance packages, workforce development, leadership development and strong partnerships with local, regional, state and federal agencies for business looking to locate or expand within the County. TCDC also administers the Tax Abatement Program for Tioga County.  www.tcdc-pa.com
