Synopsis
Brockway, originally called Brockwayville until the name was shortened in 1925, is named after the Brockway family pioneers who settled near the southern bend of Little Toby Creek in 1822. The Brockways were followed by several other settlers, including the “Father of Brockway,” Dr. Asaph M. Clarke, who laid out the town in 1836. Farming and lumbering were the original industries, but by 1883, coal mining had brought in the railroads. Railroads introduced more industry, the most famous being the Brockwayville Machine Bottle Company in 1907. Through images from the Brockway Area Historical Society, Brockway and Little Toby Valley chronicles the development of this industrious community.

About the Author
John Keith joined the Brockway Area Historical Society in 2005. His interest in the history along Little Toby Creek has led him through every town, village, and ghost town, and along every logging railroad in the valley. It is his hope that the images in Brockway and Little Toby Valley will help to renew the interest in history throughout the area. A majority of the photographs in the Brockway Area Historical Society, formed in 1953, were donated by local citizens, and the Taylor Memorial Museum was constructed in 1972 to house hundreds of artifacts collected by the founders of the society.
