Johnstown is a city located in Cambria County, Pennsylvania, known for its rich history and industrial background. Founded in the early 1800s, it became a significant center for steel production and coal mining during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The city is perhaps most famous for the Johnstown Flood of 1889, a catastrophic event caused by the failure of the South Fork Dam, which resulted in the deaths of over 2,200 people. Today, Johnstown is home to various cultural attractions, including the Johnstown Flood Museum and the Cambria County War Memorial.
