Johnstown gained national attention in 1889 when a devastating 35 foot high wall of water flooded the region and took 2,200 lives. The city's moniker became "The Flood City" following two more floods in 1936 and 1977. However, today Johnstown has been designated the best small metropolitan area to live in Pennsylvania and the fourth best in the East. There’s plenty to see and do while visiting, plus it’s only an hour’s drive to Pittsburgh where you can take in all that the Steel City has to offer.

Johnstown has many interesting things to show the visitor, including the Conemaugh Gap, the gorge at the western end of the city, where the Conemaugh River breaks through the Laurel Hill Ridge. It extends for 7 miles and is 1,700 feet deep, the second deepest gap in the eastern United States. The city is also the home of the annual FolkFest, attracting more than 130,000 visitors partaking in ethnic foods, quality live entertainment, and church tours. And the city is the site of the Johnstown Inclined Plane, "the steepest vehicular inclined plane in the world," according to the Guinness Book of World Records (grade 71%).

The Staple Bend Tunnel in Cambria County was the first railroad tunnel constructed in the United States, and is a National Historic Landmark. And don’t forget that the roar of motorcycles fills the air the fourth weekend in June when Johnstown hosts the Thunder in the Valley motorcycle rally. The city also holds the distinction as being the site of Hollywood movies “Slapshot” starring Paul Newman and “All the Right Moves” starring Tom Cruise.
