History & geography

History

In 1814, the town was laid out by two Germans named Barnes and Doughterman who emigrated from a small village named Spire in Bavaria. It is debated as to whether the town was named for the high spire of the church that could be seen from the Susquehanna River, or for the village of Spire. The town's location along the Pennsylvania Canal system and Susquehanna River made it a prime location for a variety of industries including logging, candy and potato chip factories, whiskey distilling, boat building, knitting and milling. The Highspire High School was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
