College Hill is a neighborhood located in the northern section of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, United States. Geneva College is located in the community, and is the namesake of College Hill. ==History== Geneva College was founded in Northwood, Ohio in 1848,〔Glasgow, W. Melancthon. ''(A History of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in America )''. Baltimore: Hill and Harvey, 1888. 758.〕 but it moved to northern Beaver County in 1880 after being offered free land by the Harmony Society, which was highly influential in Beaver Falls. After the college was established on land just north of Beaver Falls, a community grew up around it, and in 1892, it was incorporated as the borough of College Hill. In 1932, forty years after its incorporation, it merged with Beaver Falls.〔"(Beaver Falls )". Beaver County Bicentennial Commission. ''Beaver County Bicentennial Atlas''.
