Unincorporated community in Pennsylvania, United States
Loleta is a ghost town in Elk County, Pennsylvania, United States. The town was founded in 1889, and at its peak contained 600 inhabitants, a saw mill, a shingle mill, and a broom factory.[1] A railway connected the town with Sheffield, where the products of the factories were sold.[2] After the timber supply was exhausted in 1913, the mills shut down and the town was deserted.[3] The site is now a recreational area within Allegheny National Forest.[4] Its altitude is 1,348 feet (411 m).[5]
