History
Evans City is the name given in 1882 at the city’s incorporation of a borough of an old settlement. A borough is an Administrative division of various countries In principle the term borough designates a self-governing Township although in practice It is situated on Breakneck Creek, on the township line, and is therefore partly in Jackson and partly in Forward townships. Breakneck Creek is a Tributary of Connoquenessing Creek that flows in a northwardly direction in Western Pennsylvania. A township (or Municipality) is a settlement which has the status and powers of a unit of local government Its site was for a long time a favorite camping ground for the Indians, who named the creek Big Beaver run; while the French knew it as Casse-cou-anse or Breakneck creek,--a name adopted by travelers between Fort Duquesne and Fort Machault, and by the English speaking pioneers of the original township of Connoquenessing, Pennsylvania. Fort Duquesne (originally called Fort Du Quesne) was a Fort established by the French in 1754, at the junction of the Allegheny Fort Machault was a Fort built by the French in 1754 near the confluence of French Creek with the Allegheny River, at present-day Connoquenessing is a borough in Butler County, Pennsylvania, United States. From 1804 to 1836, the location was often called Boggs' Mill, and in later years Evansburg, after Thomas B. Evans, who purchased and rebuilt the original Bogg’s mill. In 1880 it was a little hamlet, credited with a population of 68 people. in 1890, there were 637 persons enumerated in the census, and at the beginning of 1894, it was generally credited with a population of 1,000.
In October, 1878, the railroad was completed to Evans City; a new boiler to replace that which exploded in the Sutton flouring mill, being the first freight received. The bank of J. Dambauch & Son was in existence. The residence for the pastor of the German Lutheran church, the Henry Young store and other houses were completed, and the new railroad town showed increased signs of business activity. A council appears to have had control of the place at that time, as mention is made of street improvements and of the appointment of Z. T. Weise as chief of police.
The burning question at the time was the location of the railroad depot. Once the location for the depot was chosen, it became a rather famous decision, creating the nations only railway depot that was built over water. Spanning the Breakneck Creek on iron beams for support, the picturesque railway station was an iconic landmark of breathtaking architecture. Due to its age and growing structural instability, and against much popular protest, the station was finally demolished in the early 1980’s rather than restored.
Later the school question occupied the attention of the people. Ultimately the schools were placed under the control of the Jackson Township board after a resolution by the Evans City school building committee was withdrawn. Jackson Township is a township in Butler County, Pennsylvania, United States.

This is a frame house forty-five by sixty feet, well furnished, with pastor's study, standing on the old church lot on Main street. It was dedicated in April, 1888.
