Cascade Township, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania
Cascade Township is a township in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 419 at the 2000 census. It is part of the Williamsport, Pennsylvania Metropolitan Statistical Area.
==History==
Cascade Township was formed from parts of Hepburn and Plunketts Creek townships on August 9, 1843. It is named for the series of waterfalls or cascades that are abundant in the many mountain streams of Cascade Township.
Many of the early settlers in Cascade Township were Irish Catholics. Under the leadership of Michael Kelly they established the village of Kellyburg in one of the most remote parts of Lycoming County. Michael Kelly also cut a road deep into Cascade Township from a sawmill along Lycoming Creek, and he built a gristmill and a sawmill in the township. Kelly left the area in 1877 following a bitter defeat in the sheriff election of 1872, moving to Kansas and residing there until his 1883 death. Michael Kelly also helped his fellow Catholics establish the mission parish of St. Mary's.
