A Brief History of Bratton Township, PA

Bratton Township was created in 1859 from a portion of Oliver Township and named for Andrew Bratton, the first white man to settle this section of Mifflin County. He ventured into the area in 1755 along with brother-in-law Samuel Holiday. They left the area, but returned in 1762 with their families and other settlers. Holiday built a grist mill and later a sawmill, butcher shop, ferry service across the Juniata, a distillery, house and barn and established two orchards.
The first church building in Mifflin County was erected about 1776 on Andrew Bratton’s farm by a Presbyterian Congregation.
The Main Line of the Pennsylvania Railroad created stations at two other Bratton Township villages, Mattawana and Longfellow.
