Fremont]] over Buchanan in 1856.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://staffweb.wilkes.edu/harold.cox/pres/indexpres.html|title=Presidential Elections|website=staffweb.wilkes.edu|access-date=June 13, 2018}}</ref> Snyder was the most Republican county in Pennsylvania at the presidential level from 1956 to 1996.
