The Buffalo, New York, and Philadelphia Railroad opened in 1882 and brought growth to the community, bringing in stores, a hotel, a stave-mill, a pulp company, a spoke factory, a handle factory, a saw mill, a shingle mill, and various other industries.[4] Population of (West) Corydon peaked in 1900; while it received a modest boost in population in the 1890s, it did not experience the massive boom and bust that its neighboring townships along the Allegheny did. It was in a state of persistent decline through the first half of the 20th century and had already shrunk to less than a third of its peak by 1960. Construction of the Kinzua Dam caused the resulting Allegheny Reservoir to submerge the remaining communities in Corydon Township. The township was merged into Mead Township in 1964.[5] GeographyCorydon Township was located on a strip of land in the extreme northeastern corner of Warren County, and was bounded by South Valley Township, New York on the north; (East) Corydon in McKean County on the east, Kinzua Township to the south; and the Allegheny River on the west.[6] References{{Portal|Pennsylvania}}1. ^Schenck, p. 259. 2. ^Hottenstein, p. 127. 3. ^Schenck, p. 266. 4. ^Warren County Historical Society History of Warren County Pennsylvania Schenck 1887 5. ^{{Cite book |last=Hoover |first=William N |title=Kinzua: From Cornplanter to the Corps |year=2006 |location=Lincoln, Nebraska |publisher=iUniverse |page=12 |isbn=0-595-82483-8}} 6. ^Schenck, p. 559.
