The Evolution of Evans City. By Richard L. Audino

The area of Evans City now stands as a small town in western Pennsylvania. It is a quiet town that does not boast many great buildings or features, but it does offer the small town American feel that many people think about while they are busied with their hectic schedules. However, comparing the Evans City of old to many other old towns around western Pennsylvania shows that Evans City was not terribly small compared to the general area. Yet if one looks back even further they can see that Evans City initially was nothing like it is today, nor was it like the Evans City of the very early 1900’s. It started out as a place that was sparsely habited by Pennsylvanians, and had very little industry or businesses within its borders. Eventually though, Evans City would undergo rapid changes to its landscape and environment. What changes took place, and why they occurred are interesting facts that reveal how Evans City was able to last until the present day, and what causes allowed it to become the area we know it as.
