The Indians then named the area “Ponksaduteney”, or as we know it today Punxsutawney. As the town thrived, mining the high-grade soft coal in the surrounding region supplied railroads and factories with an energy source. Factories built in the area included glassworks, foundries, ironworks, and machine shops. Farmland surrounding the town grew the organic resources for flour, feed, and silk mills. Celebrating traditions brought over from Europe; in 1887, the town established the Ground Hog club to celebrate Candlemas. This club’s mascot “Punxsutawney Phil” has become the town’s most famous resident. This charming prognosticator wakes up early from his burrow on Groundhog Day, February 2 to forecast the weather annually to his admiring fans, who wait with anticipation for his prediction at Gobbler’s Knob. After you enjoy your walk or bike through the weather capital of the world, take your time to visit the Weather Discovery Center at 201 North Finley Street and the Historical Society at 401 West Mahoning Street.
