Freeport is a borough in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, United States; it is situated along the Allegheny River in the southwest corner of the county. The population was 1,962 at the 2000 Census. Freeport received its name from David Todd, who declared it to be a free-port where no man would be charged to tie up rafts, boats, or barges. Freeport was a port on the former Pennsylvania Canal.

Freeport, Pennsylvania Video

A drive through the town I grew up in...Freeport, Pennsylvania. Freeport was derived from Depreciation Lands - lands designated as payment to Revolutionary War Soldiers for their services. This land, two tracts named Union and Friendship, was conveyed to William and David Todd. In 1796, the Todd's laid out the town consisting of Water St. along the river and Market St. 135 lots were designated in what was known as Todd's Town. By 1805, eight log cabins were located on Water St. Todd's Island was located in the Allegheny River. The water in the river divided itself around the island, and water from Buffalo Creek emptied into the river and formed an eddy in front of the town. This made an ideal location to tie up river craft. David Todd declared, "No dockage fee will ever be charged to tie up a boat, raft or barge." Thus, it became a free port, and the town became known as Freeport. Freeport Borough was incorporated in 1833. (Information from Freeport Historical Society)
