}}Driftwood is a borough in Cameron County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 67 at the 2010 census.[2]

History

Driftwood was incorporated as the second and last borough in Cameron County (the other being Emporium, the county seat) on January 17, 1872. The tracks of the Philadelphia & Erie Railroad, however, had been laid through Driftwood in 1863. Around the time of its incorporation Driftwood was at the center of the lumber industry and was a boomtown, with three hotels, two banks, two churches, and numerous places of business, including a weekly newspaper, the Driftwood Gazette, owned by John T. Earl, who was also the editor.{{Citation needed|date = September 2016}}
