Facts about Somerset County

Penn State University's outreach efforts in Somerset County began in 1915 with the hiring of C. C. McDowell as County Farm Agent. Since this early beginning, Cooperative Extension educational programs in agriculture and natural resources, family living, and 4-H/youth development have helped to expand the horizons of Somerset County residents. Penn State Cooperative Extension agents, in collaboration with Somerset County government, continue to help citizens improve their quality of life in Somerset County--"The Roof Garden of Pennsylvania."
