The Hickory Heights community has a history that dates back to 1770 when General George Washington acquired roughly 2,800 acres of land in Western Pennsylvania.
Known as Millers Run, this swath of land included the modern day Hickory Heights.
Despite trying to sell the property at some point, Washington was still the property owner at the time of his death.
