About State College, PA
State College is a home-rule municipality in Centre County, Pennsylvania. It is a college town, dominated economically, culturally, and demographically by the presence of the University Park campus of Penn State University.
State College is the largest designated borough in Pennsylvania. It is the principal borough of the six municipalities that comprise the State College area, the largest settlement in Centre County, and one of the principal cities of the greater State College-DuBois Combined Statistical Area, with a combined population of 236,577 as of the 2010 U.S. census.
State College evolved from a village to a town to serve the needs of Pennsylvania State College, founded in 1855 as Farmers’ High School of Pennsylvania. State College was incorporated as a borough on August 29, 1896, and it has grown with the college, which was renamed The Pennsylvania State University in 1953.
In 1973, State College adopted a home rule charter, which took effect in 1976; since then, it has not been governed by the state’s Borough Code, although it retains “Borough of State College” as its official name.
The university has a post office address in University Park, Pennsylvania. When it changed its name from Penn State College to Penn State University in 1953, its president, Milton S. Eisenhower, sought to persuade the town to change its name as well. A referendum failed to yield a majority for any choices proposed as a new name, so the town remains State College.
Downtown State College, also known as the Downtown Improvement District, is State College’s commercial and cultural center. The area receives approximately 1.5 to 2 million annual visitors and boasts major festivals such as the Central Pennsylvania Festival for the Arts.
