Editing Progress, Pennsylvania (section)

==History==
When Susquehanna Township was founded in 1815, Progress was the only established settlement in the south end. Daniel Shell laid out the community sometime in the 18th Century, where it was known by a few names: Jacob's Plains, Mud Town, Shellstown, and finally Progress. Originally most of the Township's population resided in Progress. Trolley cars ran along present day [[U.S. Route 22 in Pennsylvania|U.S. Route 22]] until 1936, when the road was widened for increasing automobile traffic.<ref name="Susq Twp">{{Cite book|title=History and Comment on Susquehanna Township: Celebrating 50 years as a First Class Township|year=2002}}</ref>

Progress was named for the progressive spirit of its original inhabitants, though the pronunciation is different.<ref>{{cite book|title=Notes and Queries, Historical, Biographical and Genealogical, Relating Chiefly to Interior Pennsylvania|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wyxBAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA19|year=1895|publisher=Harrisburg Publishing Company|page=19}}</ref>
