McAlveys Fort Huntingdon County Pennsylvania Fort Street View 1908 Real Photo Postcard

Fort Loudon, Pennsylvania, a historic village in Franklin County, derives its name from a British frontier fort established in 1756 during the French and Indian War. By the early 20th century, when this postcard was likely produced, it had transitioned into a quiet rural community, functioning as a local center for the surrounding agricultural landscape. Its street plan, featuring a central thoroughfare, reflects its development from a strategic outpost to a modest commercial and residential hub.
