Town History

DuBois (/ˈduːbɔɪz/ DOO-boyss) is a city and the most populous community in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. DuBois is located about 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. The population was 7,794 at the 2010 census. DuBois along with State College make up the larger State College-DuBois, PA Combined Statistical Area.

Settled in 1812 and platted in 1872, DuBois was incorporated as a borough in 1881 and as a city in 1914. The town was founded by John Rumbarger, for whom the town was originally named. The Rumbarger Cemetery is all that survives of John Rumbarger's "original settlement" in the city of DuBois. The town was later renamed for local lumber magnate John DuBois, who came from a longstanding American family of French Huguenot descent. Many of the town's original buildings and homes were funded or donated by Mr. DuBois's lumber mill. In 1938, his nephew, John E. DuBois, donated the family mansion and estate as a permanent home for the DuBois Campus of Penn State University. While DuBois was founded as a lumber town, the mining of bituminous coal quickly became the chief industry in DuBois.

Du Bois had three National Banks chartered during the Bank Note Era, and all three of those banks issued National Bank Notes.
