Emergency Crime Scene and Biohazard Cleanup in Mifflinville, PA

Mifflinville is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in the northern part of Mifflin Township, in east-central Columbia County.

Mifflinville was laid out in 1794 by John Kunkle and William Rittenhouse on the river "flats" along the Susquehanna River, opposite a cleft in Montour Ridge.

Its founders hoped Mifflinville would capture the county seat, but the Columbia County courthouse went to Bloomsburg instead.

The first house in Mifflinville was built by Peter Yohe, who came from Berks County, and the first iron plow in Columbia County was brought to the village by Samuel Smith of Baltimore.

An 1847 account counted about 30 dwellings in Mifflinville, along with stores, taverns and Lutheran and Methodist churches, with tanneries as its only industry.

A small powder mill opened in Mifflinville in 1855 under Matthew Brown and Samuel Snyder, supplying blasting powder to nearby coal mines.

To avoid confusion with a similar-sounding town, Mifflinville's Pennsylvania Railroad station was named "Creasy," and the village's bridge across the Susquehanna was built in 1907.

The 2020 census counted 1,233 people in Mifflinville, little changed from 1,253 in 2010 and 1,213 in 2000; the 2000 census counted 508 households there, with an average household size of 2.39.

Mifflinville covers about 1.38 square miles of almost entirely flat land on the south side of the Susquehanna River, several miles downriver from Berwick.

Interstate 80 passes just southwest of Mifflinville, with access from Exit 242 via Pennsylvania Route 339, and Bloomsburg, the county seat, is about nine miles to the west.
