It lies along the Juniata River, 61 miles (98 km) northwest of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania The number of people living in the borough in 1900 was 4,451; in 1910, 8,166; and in 1940, 13,017.

But with the demise of the canal system, Mifflin County eventually lost its place as a major transportation hub.
