The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The borough was established in 1972 seceding from adjacent Larimer Township. The new borough was created by developers wanting to create a ski resort in the area. Some condominiums were built, land for the ski area was acquired, and a chairlift was constructed, but the full resort was never completed. Since then, most of the borough's services were provided by Larimer Township, including housing the space for the borough's council meetings. The borough is within the Meyersdale Area School District. In 2024, voters in both Callimont and Larimer Township approved a referendum merging the borough into the township effective January 1, 2026.
