Pg 74, OBR: "Northumberland County was established in 1772, and was a very large territory...In later years at least 6 other counties were cut off. One of these was Columbia County, which was created in 1813. The present Township of Catawissa is part of this county. The county seat was and is Danville. Very likely the township of Catawissa was in the beginning much larger than at present. Fishing Creek flows down from the north and enters the Susquehanna River at or close to the town of Bloomburg, Columbia County, and about opposite the town of Catawissa.
