The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

Lycoming Township was formed from part of Old Lycoming Township. A petition from the residents of the northern part of what was Lycoming Township was submitted on April 26, 1858. The petition asked that Lycoming Township be divided into northern and southern portions. A vote held in the Newberry section of Williamsport agreed with the petitioners. A judge decreed that the northern portion be called "Lycoming Township" and the southern part be named "Old Lycoming Township" on December 2, 1858. The dividing line begins where Beautys Run flows into Lycoming Creek and follows a line of southwestward to Woodward and Anthony townships.

Nothing in Lycoming is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Lycoming has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Original Little League Field in Williamsport, 5.9 miles away.
