The county is part of the [[North Central Pennsylvania]] region of the state.{{efn|Includes Clearfield, Jefferson, Tioga, McKean, Warren, Clarion, Elk, Potter, Forest and Cameron Counties}}

==History==
The county was colonized by people of [[Yankee]] stock (colonists from [[New England]] and the western part of New York who were descended from the English Puritans of colonial New England). With the opening of a rough wagon road to the source of the Tioga River, New England colonists poured over the Allegheny Mountains. Tioga County resembled [[upstate New York]] more than it did eastern [[Pennsylvania]], as its population primarily consisted of colonists from New England.<ref>''The Expansion of New England: The Spread of New England Settlement and Institutions to the Mississippi River, 1620–1865,'' pp. 151-152</ref>  Developers and land speculators laid out roads, established post routes, erected public buildings, and invited people to move there. The original colonists were entirely of New England origins or were [[Yankee]]s from upstate New York, whose families had recent ancestors in New England, with colonization taking place in the aftermath of the Revolutionary War. Tioga County was largely culturally contiguous with New England culture, which was influential across the Northern Tier of the United States through its migrants.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the county accepted more immigrants from Ireland, Germany and eastern Europe, who came to work in the coal mines. A number of them were Roman Catholic, introducing more diversity into the mixture of religions here.

==Geography==
According to the [[United States Census Bureau|U.S. Census Bureau]], the county has a total area of {{convert|1137|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|1134|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|3.2|sqmi}} (0.3%) is water.<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=http://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/counties_list_42.txt|publisher=United States Census Bureau|access-date=March 11, 2015|date=August 22, 2012|title=2010 Census Gazetteer Files}}</ref> It is the fourth-largest county in Pennsylvania by land area and fifth-largest by total area.

Tioga County is one of the most heavily [[United States Republican Party|Republican]] represented counties in Pennsylvania. This has a long history as [[Abraham Lincoln]] reportedly received 78.57% of the county's vote in the [[1860 United States presidential election|1860 Presidential election]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/stats.php?year=1860&f=1&off=0&elect=0|title=David Leip Presidential Election Atlas for 1860|website=uselectionatlas.org|access-date=April 3, 2018}}</ref> Since Abraham Lincoln the county has voted for the non-Republican presidential candidate only two times. The first was [[Theodore Roosevelt]]'s [[1912 United States presidential election|1912]] run as a [[Progressive Party (United States, 1912)|Progressive]] and the second was [[Lyndon B. Johnson]]'s landslide in [[1964 United States presidential election|1964]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://geoelections.free.fr/USA/elec_comtes/1912.htm|title=Presidential election of 1912 – Map by counties|website=geoelections.free.fr|access-date=April 3, 2018}}</ref> In 2004, [[George W. Bush]] received 12,019 votes (68%) to 5,437 votes (31%) for [[John Kerry]]. In 2008 [[John McCain]] received 62.7% of the vote.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://elections.nytimes.com/2008/results/president/map.html?scp=1&sq=%22election+map&st=cse|title=President Map – Election Results 2008 – The New York Times|website=elections.nytimes.com|access-date=April 3, 2018}}</ref> In 2020, despite the state's slight leftward swing, the county swung further right to give [[Donald Trump]] the best Republican result since 1956. In 2006, [[Rick Santorum]] and [[Lynn Swann]] both had significant victories in Tioga County despite their defeats statewide. The last two sitting Board of Commissioners have been all Republican candidates, and Tioga County is the only county in Pennsylvania with all three sitting commissioners being from a single party. This was due to the success of write in campaigns conducted by Roger Bunn in 2011 and Mark Hamilton in 2015.

===Ghost towns===
Tioga County is historically home to several [[ghost towns]] for a variety of reasons, chiefly the decline of the lumber and coal industry. Most prominently is [[Leetonia, Pennsylvania|Leetonia]], a former timber [[company town]]. Some small hamlets, such as Mardin and Olde Corner, who relied on [[Rural Free Delivery]] for trade met their downfall. Former borough [[Fall Brook, Pennsylvania|Fall Brook]] was a site of coal discovered in 1856, and [[Landrus, Pennsylvania|Landrus]] first was settled to build a sawmill.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Randel |first=William Peirce |date=1939 |title=The Place Names of Tioga County, Pennsylvania |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/451417 |journal=American Speech |volume=14 |issue=3 |pages=181–190 |doi=10.2307/451417 |jstor=451417 |issn=0003-1283}}</ref>
