In March of 1899 the first coal land in Cowanshannock Township was bought and paid for by L.W. Robinson. This was the beginning of a new coal field that would extend into several townships over the next several years. The new town of Sagamore grew rapidly after the extension of the Buffalo and Susquehanna railroad from Punxsutawney in 1904.
