Jamestown, a town steeped in history, was founded by the pioneer James Campbell in 1798, who bestowed his name upon it. This charming borough, nestled in Mercer County, officially gained its incorporation in 1853. 

Its early growth was ignited by the accessibility provided by the meandering Shenango River, which birthed numerous mills and enterprises along its banks. As the mid-1800s rolled in, the advent of railroads coursing through Jamestown, complete with strategically located depots, cemented its status as a hub for diverse trades and specialty businesses. Notably, the construction of the Pymatuning Dam in 1933 and the subsequent emergence of Pymatuning State Park just two miles away from town have drawn tourists, campers, and fishing enthusiasts to our doorstep. 

Today, Jamestown remains a tranquil community, its enduring residents extending warm welcomes to visitors and newcomers alike. It boasts an outstanding school system, a vibrant community spirit, active congregations, and inviting eateries. We cordially invite you to experience our idyllic community and relish the serenity that envelops it.
