A Brief History of Armagh Township, PA

Armagh was the second township in what would become Mifflin County, created in 1770 from part of Cumberland County, and was named from County Armagh in Northern Ireland. A court order permitted those people who lived in the Kishacoquillas Valley at that time to have their own township separate from Derry Township.
The main village in Armagh Township today is Milroy, named for Henry Milroy, who, was granted the land in 1766. Some historians believe, however, Perryville, the former name for Milroy, was named in honor of James Milroy, a prominent resident in the 1850s.
Siglerville grew around a blacksmith shop operated by George Sigler in 1847. The blacksmith gave the village its name.
Locke’s Mills, also known as Sterrett’s Mill in 1816, later Locke’s Banks, was named for the mill built their in 1816 and sold to the Locke family in 1841. A post office was established there in 1846, but is now long gone.
Naginey was named for Charles Naginey and is the site of a vast limestone quarry. It was also a station on the Milroy Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Shrader, a small village named after a family who occupied one of the earliest houses in that section of the valley, also began to grow as a railroad station along the Milroy Branch of the PRR.
