Blood, Trauma, and Biohazard Cleanup in Knox, PA

Knox is a borough in Clarion County, with Clarion, the county seat, nine miles to the east and Pennsylvania Route 208 passing through the center of town.

Knox began as the settlement of Edenburg, where early settler J. G. Mendenhall was a Quaker from Chester County; its post office was granted in 1834 under the name "Eden" and was later renamed Knox because another Eden already existed in Pennsylvania.

The borough of Edenburg was organized and chartered in the autumn of 1876, its limits covering just the Mendenhall and Best farms, and the borough later took the name Knox.

Knox organized its first bank in 1875 and its first daily newspaper, the Edenburg Herald, in 1876, and its White Memorial School was built and dedicated in 1921 at a cost of $150,000.

Knox covers just 0.57 square miles and had a population of about 1,100 at the 2020 census.

The 2000 census counted 1,176 people living in 528 households in Knox.

Knox bills itself as the "Horsethief Capital of the World," and its August Horsethief Days festival recalls the notorious 19th-century horse thief Sebastian "Boss" Buck.

Knox native Ross A. McGinnis was killed in action in Iraq on December 4, 2006, shielding his fellow soldiers, and was awarded the Medal of Honor.

Knox is served by the Keystone School District, which operates both of its schools in the borough — Keystone Elementary School and Keystone Junior/Senior High School on Beatty Avenue, home of the Panthers.

German is the largest reported ancestry in Knox, claimed by about 41% of residents.
