The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗In 1787, Michael Barndollar purchased the land in this area, and laid out a town which was originally called Waynesburg.
This name was never widely used and this small village was incorporated as a borough in November 1860, to be known as Bloody Run. While this name carries with it many interesting stories and much history, the name was changed in February 1873 to Everett.
The Everett Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
