Inscription. Beaver County has a storied past beginning with the Native Americans who first roamed the land through its heyday as an industrial powerhouse and beyond. Historically our people and industries have helped build America and win her wars. Past and present industrial output and innovation can be seen throughout the nation from everyday plastic products to iconic bridges and buildings. In Beaver County, reminders of our rich heritage can be seen not only at places like Fort McIntosh and Old Economy, but also all around us in our stately libraries, charming train stations, majestic churches, impressive bridges and the beautiful rivers they span. These and more form the unique story of our past and help shape who we are today.
